SINGAPORE : The Filipino woman who was found dead at a lodging house in Bencoolen Street earlier this month used to work in Singapore as an "entertainer" using a 3-month tourist visa.
This was revealed by her cousin, who spoke to reporters outside the mortuary on Thursday.
Ms Erliza Pascua said her cousin, Roselyn Pascua, came to Singapore once a year, earning S$3,000 from each visit.
Ms Erliza Pascua said it was her own father who told her of Miss Pascua's death.
"She worked here as an entertainer. Last year, she called me. But this time, (she didn't) contact me. That's why I was very shocked to find out that she has passed away already," said Erliza Pascua, cousin of the deceased.
The victim had a 10-year-old daughter in the Philippines, and it's said that she had a boyfriend here.
She was found stabbed at Peony Mansion on March 15.
On March 19, an Indian national - 34-year-old Gopinathan Nair Remadevi Bijukumar - was charged in court with her murder.
Ms Pascua said it was the last time her cousin planned to work in Singapore because she had made enough money to build a house in the Philippines. - CNA /ls
