SINGAPORE, May 27 — A 22-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of murder after a young woman was found lying motionless at a public housing block in Singapore’s Choa Chu Kang estate last night.

According to CNA, Singapore police said officers were alerted to a call for assistance at Block 248 Choa Chu Kang Avenue 2 at about 8.55pm.

When officers arrived, they found a 21-year-old woman lying motionless at a lift lobby on the 12th floor.

She was pronounced dead at the scene by a paramedic from the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF).

Police said a 22-year-old man was arrested for murder and later taken to hospital.

Preliminary investigations revealed that both individuals were known to each other, authorities added.

The SCDF confirmed it had received a call for assistance at around the same time yesterday evening.

“A person was pronounced dead at the scene by a paramedic,” the SCDF told CNA, adding that another person was taken to the National University Hospital.

Police said investigations into the case are ongoing.

The incident drew attention in Singapore after reports emerged of a heavy police presence at the residential block in Choa Chu Kang, a town in the island republic’s western region.
