2000 unsolved rape and murder of a woman in Singapore
On 6 February 2000, 27-year-old Linda Chua was jogging in Bukit Batok Nature Park when she was attacked and raped. She was later found naked in a 10-metre-deep ravine in the park with her clothes next to her. She was taken to the National University Hospital but died several days later on 14 February.[1] Her attackers were never caught and the case remains unsolved to this day.[2]
Linda Chua, the second of four children of a retired businessman and a housewife, was a financial reporting manager at ExxonMobil.[1] She had a fiancé, whom she met while they were both freshmen at Nanyang Technological University in 1991. They had been planning to get married in December that year.[2]
Investigations
Police interviewed hundreds of people, but did not find any useful leads.[3]
In March, Singaporean TV crime show Crimewatch broadcast a public appeal for information about the case in the show's first episode that year.[4]
On 29 March, citizens' groups, the public and Chua's friends offered a reward of $80,000 for information about the culprits behind the attack.[5]
