Indonesian maid, toddler found dead in Tiong Bahru
SINGAPORE : Two loud thuds and screams shook a quiet neighbourhood near Tiong Bahru on Saturday.
Residents looked out of their windows to find two bodies at the foot of an HDB block at Kim Tian Place.
It was a grim sight for many residents who gathered near Block 120 Kim Tian Place after they heard a commotion between 2.30pm and 3pm.
They saw the body of a 21-year-old Indonesian woman among the bushes near the block and a dead five-month-old boy just metres away.
They are believed to have fallen from the 23rd floor of the block, where the baby's grandparents lived.
A neighbour said: "We heard two loud screams and two loud thuds...my husband went out to look, went to the window, we tried to look, we thought it was a car accident."
Another neighbour said: "From (the) balcony, I heard one loud thud followed by another. I looked down and did not see anything. Later I saw a middle-aged man crying loudly."
Investigations revealed that the Indonesian woman is a maid employed by the baby's parents.
The five-month-old boy dressed in a white shirt and pink pants was pronounced dead at 3.15pm, while the Indonesian maid dressed in dark brown t-shirt and checked bermudas died 10 minutes later. -

ever heard stories of maids adding used pads to ur soup?
recently alot of maids jumping off or killing people. scary...
Is there any statistics on maid incidents? I'd like to know the total number of foreign maids we have in SG and the number of incidents (including minor incidents like the above examples). I have a hunch that the stats will be surprisingly high... -
