FOR the past nine years, she had lived with her husband and his widowed mother.
Her young daughter completed the family, described by neighbours as close-knit.
But on Thursday afternoon, the Filipina nurse's husband, Mohamed Redha Abdul Mutalib, 30, was arrested for allegedly killing his mother, Madam Asnah Aziz, 55.
She was found lying in a pool of blood in her kitchen, with multiple slash wounds.
Yesterday, Mohamed Redha was charged in a district court with the murder, which allegedly took place between 11am and 1.30pm on the 12th storey, the highest level at Block 20 Eunos Crescent.

A VIDEO posted on several social networking websites which shows a brutal attack on a female student in Hong Kong has sparked a police investigation.
The footage had been posted on YouTube and Online.hk before it was removed last Friday because it was flagged as containing offensive content, reported Hong Kong's South China Morning Post.
The video, which is about 11/2 minutes long, is still accessible on Facebook and Youku, a popular video-sharing website in China.
The video shows eight girls punching and kicking the victim, who appears to be in a school uniform.
One of her attackers jumps off a wall and pulls the victim to the ground before others join in to stomp on the victim.
It is unclear when the video was filmed, although the students are wearing winter school uniforms.
There is speculation that the attack could have taken place in Tin Shui Wai last year.
School identified
The video clip is thought to have been recorded by one of the attackers.
The initials SHW are also seen on one of the girls' uniforms.
Some Internet users have commented that judging from the initials, some of the attackers could be students from Shi Hui Wen Secondary School, located in the Tuen Mun district in Hong Kong.
Apple Daily reported that a netizen has made a police report identifying one of the alleged attackers.
The newspaper said in its report that the principal of Shi Hui Wen Secondary School, Mr Choi Wing Tim, has confirmed that one of the attackers was from the school.
Mr Choi also told Apple Daily that he had been contacted by police over the incident.
Oriental Daily reported that the attackers were from that school as well as another school from Tin Shui Wai, in Hong Kong's NewTerritories.
The video clip has provoked a wave of outragefrom Internet users.
"Are they humans? How can they do that?" wrote one netizen on Youku.
Another asked: "Are they mad? Why would those who beat her up film it and post it online?"
A spokesman from Hong Kong's Education Bureau said staff would follow up on the incident with schools after the public holiday.
A police spokesman said that they would look into the incident.
The Gap fashion executive accusing two policemen of rape has been shown walking steadily up to her door in previously-unseen surveillance footage in court.
Witnesses have said the 28-year-old was so drunk she could not even stand up before the alleged rape by NYPD cops Kenneth Moreno and Franklin Mata.

The video did show accused rapist Moreno and lookout Mata making three return trips in five hours, but the policemen are hoping the 2008 CCTV tape will help their case.
The woman’s taxi driver and three of her friends have so far told jurors that she was a drunken wreck after a night of champagne and five Jack Daniel’s and Red Bull drinks.
But the video footage seems to show the woman animated, walking steadily and talking with Mata while extending her hand in a conversational gesture.
Mata places his hand on the woman’s back as she approaches the door and Moreno follows them behind, according to the tape shown in New York’s Supreme Court.
She is then seen pushing her own door in East Village, reported the New York Post.
Moreno and Mata, charged with conspiring to rape the woman, deny intercourse that night and hope they will not be convicted if intoxication cannot be proven.
But prosecutors Coleen Balbert and Randolph Clarke have promised much evidence proving she was too drunk to consent, such as test results for blood-alcohol content.
Prosecutors claim a taxi driver called 911 to say she was too drunk to get herself out of a taxi. Their case rests on the woman being too drunk to consent to having sex.
The officers helped her into the flat but later returned and Moreno raped her while Mata stood watch, prosecutors said.
‘She seemed intoxicated,’ one visitor to her flat said. ‘By her appearance. The way she’s walking. The way her heels sounded.’
The woman’s boss also cried as she told jurors earlier in the trial that the woman was ‘devastated’ and ‘demoralized’ after the incident.
Joseph Tacopina, defending, has previously claimed the woman only became ’100 per cent positive’ she was raped after filing a $60million lawsuit against New York City.
Moreno and Mata deny all charges, including rape and burglary. The trial continues.
