Decomposed body found near NUS

A DECOMPOSED body has been found in a forested area off Clementi Road - the second such incident within a week. Police said that they were alerted around 6pm yesterday, and are investigating. About 20 police officers combed the area, which is just opposite the National University of Singapore, before emerging with the remains in a white bag close to midnight. This comes after two land survey staff discovered a set of skeletal remains in the forest next to the Tanah Merah MRT Station last Saturday.
