Woman's head, limbs found in bag near Orchard MRT station
By Wong Siew Ying, Channel NewsAsia
SINGAPORE : A woman's severed head and limbs were found next to Orchard MRT Station on Friday.
Police are investigating if a woman's torso found in a black canvas bag along a path near MacRitchie Reservoir is linked to the body parts found earlier at Orchard Road.
The police had responded to a call about an unattended bag at MacRitichie Reservoir earlier in the evening.
The body parts were stashed in a blue sports bag on the grounds near Orchard MRT Station.
The woman's head was wrapped in a red plastic bag, the arms and legs in two black trash bags.
A cleaner found the unattended sports bag behind the MRT station, between the mosaic wall and the park.
ASP Siow Cheng Cheng, Police Spokesman, said: "Police immediately cordoned off the surrounding area and conducted a search. We are presently working towards establishing the identity of the victim. The search for further remains and evidence is on-going."
The gruesome find drew a large crowd of on-lookers.
Two anti-riot police units were called in to ensure CID officers could carry out their work.
After five hours of investigations, the victim's head and limbs were removed.
One youth said: "The fact that there is a dead body on Orchard Road really freaks me out because I pass here every day to go to the cinema or go to eat."
One woman said: "It reminds us of the Huang Na incident and the previous Chinese girl incident."
This is the second body parts case in less than three months - a grim reminder of the June 16 case where the body parts of Chinese national Liu Hong Mei were found in the Kallang River. - CNA/de
