A Mystery

It has been almost 2 weeks since I last publish a story. Well I thought that many of you would be studying hard for your exams and have no time to log on. I hope everything went well.

I was fascinated with this story which appeared as news about a year ago. I have been thinking about it sometimes.

There were two unmarried sisters who lived by themsleves in a terrace house in Singapore and did not come out to mix with others or neighbours. Last year when the police was alerted , the police found a skeleton lying over a toilet bowl in the house. The house was messy and they found some gold jewellery and Malaysian money. The police was not able to say for sure the skeleton was which of the two sisters', Pearl's or Ruby's. The police could not find their relatives. They searched the records, at the Registration of Births and Deaths and hospitals but could not find any information on them. They even asked Interpol (International detectives) to help.

Finally they found that Pearl had left Singapore via the Woodlands check point in July 2004 and had not returned to Singapore since then. They also found that Ruby had last seen her doctor at the Institute of Mental Health in March 2002 as an outpatient. She was then 68 years old.

According to the law in Singapore the house and other properties will now belong to the closest surviving relatives. Their cousins have come forward to claim the remains of Ruby for burial. The cousins said that they lost contact with the two sisters for more than twenty years.

I have been thinking to myself what could have happened to the one who went to Malaysia. Is she still alive? How did Ruby die? Lying over a toilet bowl? A skeleton? May have died at the toilet bowl and then her flesh rotted leaving only the sekelton. It must have been lying there for a very long time for only the skeleton to be left. I wonder.... Any guesses from you? The police spent more that 8 months investigating but is still puzzled.
