Ghost of Terror Past

PHOTOS of a radiant Ms Lo Hwei Yen on her wedding day greet you as soon as the lift door opens to Mr Michael Puhaindran's condominium apartment in Marine Parade.
Stepping inside the two-bedroom unit, it is clear Ms Lo, his wife, is still mistress of the house.
It has been a year since the 28-year-old lawyer was taken hostage and tragically killed in Mumbai but her books line the bookshelf in the living room.
The novel she had brought along for her trip to the Indian city - The Girls of Ridayh - is on the shelf too, with bookmark still inserted at the page she had stopped at.
Her favourite tea is served to guests and the wardrobe in the master bedroom still holds her clothes. Some of her half-used toiletries and her toothbrush remain in the bathroom.
There are other pictures of her and Mr Puhaindran - most of their wedding day - framed and placed around the house. A particular photo frame - a digital one - which stands on a coffee table by the window holds special meaning for Mr Puhaindran.
