A 23-year-old Malaysian was charged today with the murder of a 54-year-old cleaning supervisor, whose body was found in a deep drain near Tanah Merah ferry terminal.
Ahmad Muin Yaacob has been accused of killing Maimunah Awang on November 24, between 12 and 1pm.
Her body was found in a monsoon drain the next day, reportedly with neck injuries and without the gold jewellery she was known to be fond of wearing.
She was pronounced dead by paramedics at the scene at 10.40am on November 25th.
Police said Ahmad was arrested in Malaysia last Sunday with the help of Malaysian police.
Ahmed was brought to court on Wednesday morning in an unmarked police car, flanked by two officers in the backseat.
He showed no emotion as the murder charge was read out to him.
Ahmad has been remanded for a week to assist in investigations, and will next appear in court on December 28th.
If convicted of murder, he faces the death penalty.
