A Chinese national was charged in court on Friday with the murder of his 41-year-old wife, Madam Liu Bijiao.

Hu Zi Qing was arrested on Thursday morning after Madam Liu - who was also from China - was found dead in their Choa Chu Kang Avenue 2 flat earlier at about 4.02am.

The 58-year-old man did not admit to the charge when he appeared before the court. He has been remanded for a week at Central Police Division for further investigations.

Neighbours told The Straits Times on Thursday that the couple have a daughter who goes to a secondary school here. The husband faces the death penalty if he is found guilty of murder.

She was sleeping when she heard a woman crying in Mandarin: “Save me! Save me!”

“I thought I was dreaming, but when I opened my eyes I could still hear the cries,” said the 25-year-old accountant, who gave her name as only Amy.

She and her two flatmates decided to investigate, but things were quiet when they opened their room door.

But their 41-year-old landlady from China was killed in the wee hours of yesterday morning in the four-room flat in Choa Chu Kang Avenue 2.

A 58-year-old man, believed to be her husband, was arrested by the police in connection to the murder.

The man will be charged in court today with murder, which carries the death penalty.

Read the full report in The New Paper on Friday (Aug 9).
