SINGAPORE — Two male Pakistanis have been charged in the State Courts for the murder of 59-year-old Pakistani Muhammad Noor, whose dismembered body was found earlier this week.
The two men - Rasheed Muhammad, 43 and Ramzan Rizwan, 25 - appeared in court this morning (June 14) looking solemn.
On Wednesday evening, a rag-and-bone man found a bloodied suitcase which contained the upper body of Muhammad Noor at Syed Alwi Road. His legs were found the next day in a piece of luggage at a Muslim cemetery at Jalan Kubor, just a short distance from Syed Alwi Road.
According to court documents, the two men are alleged to have committed the murder between June 10, at about 12.01 am and June 11, at about 6.04pm at 6B Rowell Road, Room 44.
The two were arrested at about 3pm at Rowell Road on Thursday, which is just two streets away from the gruesome find.
Both men have been remanded for further police investigations and will be back in court on Friday (June 20).
If found guilty of murder, they face the death penalty.
