The corridor was cordoned off with police tape as forensic photographers documented the evidence.

He was questioned inside the flat for over two hours.

Attended her funeral

At his first court session on Jun. 3, Lim asked to attend the funeral of the "deceased".

He did not call her by her name, nor refer to her as his mother.

Preliminary investigations revealed that both parties were known to each other.

Investigations are ongoing.

Lim faces the death penalty if convicted of murder.
