Reporters went down to the scene at about 1.20pm and noticed a blue tent on a patch of grass next to the building.

They also allegedly saw an investigator holding the body, which appeared to be “the size of a foetus” and wrapped in a towel.

Shin Min Daily News added there were many police officers both inside and outside a unit on the second floor, which had been cordoned off.

There were apparently drops of blood at the lift lobby closest to the unit, ST noted.
