PICTURE: Shin Min

FOR the past nine years, she had lived with her husband and his widowed mother.

Her young daughter completed the family, described by neighbours as close-knit.

But on Thursday afternoon, the Filipina nurse's husband, Mohamed Redha Abdul Mutalib, 30, was arrested for allegedly killing his mother, Madam Asnah Aziz, 55.

She was found lying in a pool of blood in her kitchen, with multiple slash wounds.

Yesterday, Mohamed Redha was charged in a district court with the murder, which allegedly took place between 11am and 1.30pm on the 12th storey, the highest level at Block 20 Eunos Crescent.
