birthday celebration ends up with death

S'PORE: Tragedy struck the Lim family on what was supposed to be the 27th birthday celebration of the eldest daughter, Lin Shaojuan Charmaine. The body of a family member was discovered by the latter and her boyfriend, Alywin Chew when they returned to the bed-room at about 1734hrs. The body was suspended by a USB cable, tied tightly around her neck, to the ceiling lights. The victim has been identified as Pinkie and has been living with the family's youngest child, Benita Lin, since she was a young child. Benita was not available for an interview by press time.

Sources close to the family reveal that Lin recieved a sms shortly before the body was discovered and was visibly agitated by the message. She was seen showing Chew the message and even reading it mockingly, "Happy 27th Birthday Jie, you are getting old!". It is believed that the message was sent from Benita as Lin's other younger sibling, Samuel Lin was in the next room talking on his mobile phone.

Rumors of a conspiracy theory has been brewing. It is speculated that the murder may be an act of revenge; although it is anyone's guess if the murder was committed by Lin out of spite, or by Chew, in an romantic attempt to appease his girlfriend.

Police have classified this as an unnatural death and are still investigating the case.
