Rushed home on hearing
Lim was based in Sweden at the time of her mother's death, Lianhe Zaobao reported.
She rushed back to Singapore after being told about the incident by her uncle.
According to her, she has been visiting the scene of the incident almost every day to looks for witnesses.
Describing her mother as a "simple woman" who had devoted herself to her family, Lim said that the Covid-19 pandemic had separated the pair for almost three years.
Lim spoke about her plans to return to Singapore to visit her mother in March this year, as well to bring her mother to Sweden in July—plans that can no longer be fulfilled.
Police investigations are ongoing.
