A source told Shin Min that the woman, 32, is from Vietnam while her 23-year-old boyfriend is a Chinese man.
They were believed to have had an argument over money, during which she allegedly attacked him with a knife.
During the argument, the source claimed to have heard the words:
Want to die, let’s die together!
Injured, he fled and sought help, leaving a trail of blood behind.
A 24-year-old resident named only as Ms Li (transliterated from Mandarin), said she heard a commotion at about 11am.
When she went to check it out, she realised that the police had cordoned off the 12th floor, which is believed to be where the incident took place.
Another resident named only as Mr Wang (transliterated from Mandarin), 50, who has lived in the condo for four years, said he had heard people quarrelling occasionally this year.
He had no idea where the noise was coming from, so he ignored it as it did not bother him.
However, on Thursday morning, he saw many police officers when he was returning to home after walking his dog.
He was let into the lift only after an officer asked him which floor he was going to.
In response to queries from MS News, the Singapore Police Force (SPF) said it received a call for assistance at about 10.25am on 7 Aug.
