Her eyeballs and tongue were recovered the next day on a grass patch near her block of flats, but the portion of her lung has not been found. Most of her stab wounds are also believed to have been inflicted after she had died.
These were among details that emerged at the coroner’s inquiries on Monday (Dec 1) into the deaths of Rosaline Lim and her 51-year-old daughter Andrea Tay Su Lin.
On June 4, Tay was found to have fallen from a sixth-floor unit at Block 105, Ang Mo Kio Avenue 4, and Lim’s body was found in the three-bedroom flat with multiple stab wounds.
Police officers called by the Singapore Civil Defence Force on June 4 saw Lim’s body lying in a pool of blood when they entered the flat, co-owned by Tay and Lim.
Tay was standing in the kitchen and headed to the window when she saw the two officers. The officers were unable to stop her as she climbed through the window and stood on the ledge before plunging to her death, severing her legs in the process when she hit a laundry rack.
Tay had no psychiatric treatment record with the Institute of Mental Health or public hospitals here, but four people close to her suspected she had a mental illness as she displayed paranoid behaviour and had felt others – including her mother – were trying to harm her.
Her daughter, Ms Germaine Ng, apparently told the police that Tay had sought help at a private clinic years ago for depression.
The coroner will deliver the findings on Wednesday.
