On 13 January 1998, a Bulgarian student named Iordanka Apostolova (Иорданка Апостолова), alias Tamia Pachinko (Тамиа Пачинко), was discovered dead in a canal at Tanah Merah Ferry Road, Singapore. Investigations led to the police to arrest one male suspect, who was Iordanka’s friend while another man surrendered himself to the police. The two men were charged with her murder and later hanged in 1999. A third accomplice, the wife of one of the executed men who helped concealing the evidence of the murder and for failing to report the crime to the authorities, was subsequently imprisoned for six years by the courts.[1]
