ON Monday night, Ms Jeevithan Palanisamy's boyfriend asked her mother for her hand in marriage.
The 18-year-old's mother felt that Jeevitha was too young and suggested to the young man that he let her finish her studies first while he continued working, The New Paper reported on Wednesday.
The boyfriend seemed amenable to the reply and Jeevitha's mum, Madam Alice, left after asking him to take her daughter home.
But on Tuesday morning, Jeevitha's body was found beside a PUB power substation at Block 154, Ang Mo Kio Ave 5.
Jeevitha's aunt, Madam Meena, told The New Paper that she had met Madam Alice at 9am on Tuesday morning, where Madam Alice told her about the marriage proposal.
They found out about the Jeevitha's death only when Madam Alice received an SMS from her ex-husband at 11am.
Madam Meena said that Jeevitah had met her 22-year-old boyfriend while clubbing and they had dated for about a year.
She said he was nicknamed 'Marsiling Baby'.
The police have classified Jeevitha's case as murder.
They said they arrested a 22-year-old suspect at 6.15pm on Tuesday.
