SINGAPORE : Police have confirmed that a woman's head was found in a bag behind Orchard MRT station at ground level on Friday, 9 Sep 2005.
The blue sports bag also contained the victim's arms and legs, wrapped in separate trash bags. The grisly discovery was made by a cleaner near Orchard MRT, between a mosaic wall and a park. Police were alerted to the gruesome find at 1.40pm.
News of the find spread fast and two units of anti-riot police were dispatched at 4pm to control a swelling crowd of onlookers. Details of the woman's race or age have not been released. 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."
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 China national Liu Hong Mei were found in the Kallang River. - CNA/de
