MS LO Hoei Yen, a 28-year-old Singaporean lawyer who had been taken hostage at a luxury Mumbai hotel, was confirmed dead on Friday night.
Her body was identified by her husband, Mr Michael Puhaindran, who had flown out to Mumbai on Thursday night.
She had flown to Mumbai to attend a business seminar on Wednesday morning, but found herself mired in the violence hours later when terrorists toting guns and grenades overran the posh Oberoi Hotel she was in.
She is believed to be the the first Singaporean victim of a terror attack.
Her body was found on the 19th floor of the Oberoi hotel.
Militants had relayed a message through Singapore that Indian forces should not storm the building, a foreign ministry spokesman said.
Some personal comment:
This is how fragile life is. It can be gone in no time, and it will be gone, Forever.
I hate to hear such news, I hate to read about them. It will only leave me being affected but helpless. I shall pray for them and deepest condolences to their love ones. :(
