THREE women were found dead and another with multiple injuries in what is believed to be a case of mass murders in a flat at Block 349 Yishun Avenue 11 early on Friday.

Police received a call at about 12.50am from a member of the public informing them of the body of a woman lying at the foot of the block.

Police investigators rushed to the scene. They combed the block floor by floor and found a blood-stained padlock on the main door of the sixth floor unit.
