Murder of Goh Beng Choo

On the evening of November 19, 1980, 8-year-old Goh Beng Choo and her family were celebrating her academic achievements at their home in Jalan Petua, Singapore (this village was demolished and is now Bukit Batok). She had gone out of the house, and her 10-year-old brother Leng Hai saw her on the road in front of their house. He had left to go buy noodles for the family. It was thought that while everyone was talking she decided to go to a friend's home. 

When she did not return after an hour everyone began to worry. They would go out and look for her. She was not at the neighbor's home, so they went on a search for her. She would soon be found.

 

Her body would be found around 400 feet away from her home. She was found in some bushes behind the Taoist temple in the village. There were signs of a struggle at the scene. Beng Choo had been sexually assaulted, and beaten. She had scratch marks on her face, neck, and arms and her blouse was slightly torn. She had died from blows to the abdomen causing her liver to rupture. Around 8:30 a scream was heard, but no one thought anything of it at the time. 

The Goh family would leave the area a year later and didn't really keep in contact with their former neighbors. There were some tips from family members that a man had asked the girl alone to go fishing at a pond, but she rejected him. There was not enough to go off of this lead though.
