A 33-year-old man and a 25-year-old woman will be charged with the murder of a four-year-old, and disposal of her body, the Singapore Police Force (SPF) said.

The 25-year-old woman is the biological mother of the four-year-old.

They will be charged with murder today (July 25), along with a 30-year-old woman, who is accused of disposing of the girl's body together with them.

SPF said that the girl was reported missing on July 20 at 5:36pm.

Through follow-up investigations, SPF established that the girl was dead and identified three suspects.

The girl's mother and the man could face the death penalty, if convicted of murder.

Those found guilty of disposing a corpse to prevent the detection of an offence can be jailed for up to seven years.
