On 6 January 1998, two days after she went missing, the semi-naked corpse of 19-year-old Dini Haryati, an Indonesian student and intern hotel receptionist working in Singapore, was discovered in a forest at Woodlands, with injuries found on her head, abdomen and neck. An autopsy report revealed that Dini had been raped before she died due to a fatal skull fracture. The police conducted extensive investigations to solve the case and seek information on any suspects behind the brutal rape-murder, which shocked the whole nation at that time. However, due to a lack of clues and suspects, the murder remains unsolved as of today.

Background

Dini Haryati was born in Jakarta, Indonesia on 10 February 1978. Dini, who grew up in a rich and affluent family, had a younger twin sister (born 15 minutes later than Dini) and two older brothers. [1] Her father Ustam Dinata was a banker working at Bank Bukopin in Jakarta. Dini was an enthusiast in karate and taekwondo, and had achieved a black belt in both sports. [2] She was also a studious and hard working student and able to speak many different languages, and even master Indonesian cultural dance skills. Dini's uncle stated that his niece was very obedient and was a mature and independent child despite her wealthy background. [3]

Dini studied up to high school and later completed a two-year hotel management diploma course with the Bandung Tourism College. In August 1997, Dini was transferred to Singapore for a six-month training programme at the Albert Court Hotel in Albert Street, where she worked as a hotel receptionist. [4] Her colleagues described her as a hard-working co-worker and pleasant person. Dini rented a flat with two friends at Woodlands, and her residence was located nearby the Woodlands MRT station. Dini would maintain contact with her family through letters and phone calls. Dini also made plans to further her studies in university and her father even made arrangements for her to travel to Sydney, Australia to attend a university there. Dini also expressed her hope to return to Indonesia after finishing her studies to work in the local hotel industry. [5] [6]

Rape and murder

On 4 January 1998, 19-year-old Dini Haryati was last seen leaving her workplace at about 11pm, after she completed her routine night shift. However, she never returned home that night itself. She also never turned up for work during her morning shift two days after her disappearance. Therefore, Dini was reported missing. [7]

On the morning of 6 January 1998, two days after Dini disappeared, when a gardener was busy cutting grass in a grassy area nearby Woodlands MRT station, she discovered the semi-naked corpse of a girl, who was only wearing a white shirt and had bruises on her head, neck and abdomen. [8] [9] [10] The grisly discovery was promptly reported to the police, and they arrived at the scene. Based on the identification found on the victim, whose black pants, underwear and shoes were found discarded nearby, the police established the victim's identity as Dini Haryati. A forensic report confirmed that Dini was raped before being strangled and bludgeoned on the head by a blunt and hard instrument. [11] [12] [13] The cause of Dini's death was the result of a skull fracture caused by blunt force trauma. [14]

Dini's father flew from Indonesia to Singapore to identify his daughter's remains, and was devastated over the death of Dini, and at the mortuary itself, he was accompanied by over 30 friends, colleagues and representatives of the Indonesian embassy in Singapore. In fact, at the time of her death, Dini had one more week before completing her training in Singapore and originally wanted to return to Indonesia to celebrate Hari Raya with her family and invite her Singaporean friends over. [15] A counsellor with the embassy stated that there were many young students from Indonesia and other countries who come here for hotel industry training courses, and hoped that there could be measures taken to ensure the safety of these students and prevent similar cases from happening. [16] [17]

Investigations

The rape and death of Dini Haryati was classified as murder, and police investigations were underway to solve the case. Under the laws of Singapore, any offenders found guilty of murder would be sentenced to death by hanging, and the punishment for the offence of rape is up to twenty years in prison, in addition to either a fine or caning up to 24 strokes. [18]

The police ascertained through their investigations that prior to her death, Dini had boarded a bus from her workplace and later boarded a MRT train to go back home. Dini was speculated to have last walked on a concrete pathway outside the Woodlands MRT station before she was attacked by her rapist, who possibly knocked her unconscious and dragged her to the bushes to sexually assault the girl before killing her. Often, the path itself was frequently used by lone females who wanted to take a shortcut home, and several of these users also told the press that the murder itself led to them feeling uneasy about walking alone at night. [19]

As part of their investigations, the police interviewed over 300 foreign workers living in the nearby dormitories of the area, but could not find any suspects, and no murder weapons were recovered. [20] In light of the increasing rate of occurrence of murder cases, with 13 reported cases between January and February 1998 (including Dini's case and the murder of Iordanka Apostolova), the police assured the public that they would spare no effort to solve these cases and not lose their confidence, as they managed to crack five out of these cases within a short time. [21] [22] [23] Residents living nearby the area where Dini was murdered were also shocked and fearful for the safety of their female family members, with one concerned resident, who had two teenage daughters, writing to the national newspaper The Straits Times that there should be more lights set up in these secluded areas to ensure no one, including her daughters, would be encountering the same fate as Dini. [24]

Merely three months after Dini was killed, Singaporean crime show Crimewatch re-enacted the murder case and it aired on television in April 1998. The episode covering Dini's killing included a public appeal for information or witnesses to help solve the case, with the assurance that all information would be kept strictly confidential. [25]

However, in spite of the police's efforts to crack the case, the case of Dini Haryati's murder remains unsolved as of today.

Aftermath

Two years after Dini Haryati was raped and killed, another brutal rape-murder occurred at Bukit Batok Nature Park, where 29-year-old financial executive Linda Chua was attacked by a rapist while she was jogging, and brutally assaulted and raped by her assailant. Chua died eight days later on 14 February 2000 while receiving treatment for her injuries, and her attacker was never identified or caught despite extensive police investigations. In light of Chua's murder, Dini's cousin told the press that it was disheartening to hear that another young female had ended up the same way as Dini, whose killer remained unapprehended at that point of time. [26] [27]

There were speculations that the murders of both Dini and Chua were the work of the same person, given that both women were alone at the time they were attacked and they were sexually assaulted before their deaths. Merely three years later, a lone female jogger at MacRitchie Reservoir was also attacked and sexually assaulted, but the assailant fled upon the appearance of other passers-by, and the 23-year-old victim survived her ordeal, and security around the reservoir was tightened. [28] It was further theorized that the unidentified rapist that committed the MacRitchie Reservoir rape case was the same killer of both Dini and Chua's cases. However, like the two murders, the culprit of this rape case was never caught despite a police's sketch of his face. [29]

The Dini Haryati rape-murder case was recalled once again in January 2021 when a public appeal was made to re-investigate the unsolved case of Lim Shiow Rong, a seven-year-old schoolgirl who was raped and strangled to death by an unknown killer who was allegedly a friend of her father. [30] The appeal by both Lim's sister and mother was due to the 2007 disappearance case of Felicia Teo, who was classified missing for 13 years before it was re-classified as murder upon the emergence of new information and a suspect was arrested for the case, which gave rise to the hope that these high-profile cold cases, which also included the 1985 Winnifred Teo rape-murder case and the 2000 Linda Chua murder case, [31] [32] [33] [34] would be re-investigated and solved in the near future.
