Bukit Panjang murder: Woman charged over husband's killing
SINGAPORE: A 26-year-old woman was on Tuesday (Sep 1) charged with the murder of her husband.

Teoh is represented by lawyer Yusfiyanto Yatiman.
A colleague of Teoh's whom Channel NewsAsia spoke to said she was the "quiet type" and that they "can't imagine her as a murderer".
