A 54-year-old woman was on Monday charged with the murder of a 63-year-old man in a Singapore Housing and Development Board flat in Ang Mo Kio.
Chinese national Wong Shuzhen allegedly killed Teh Hock Pine, a Singaporean, in a third-storey unit at Block 633, Ang Mo Kio Avenue 6 sometime between 5am and 6.02am on Sunday.
If convicted, Wong could face the death penalty.
Wong appeared expressionless in court when her charge was read to her.

She will return to court on November 18, following a three-week psychiatric assessment at Changi Prison.
In a statement on Sunday, the police said that preliminary investigations showed that Wong and Teh knew each other. TODAY understands that they were a couple.
On Sunday, Teh was pronounced dead by paramedics at the scene after the police were alerted to the case of unnatural death at about 5.45am.
Neighbours living on the second floor below the unit told reporters that they heard sounds of struggle at about 5.30am, before Wong was taken out in handcuffs by police officers at around 7am. According to the neighbours, Wong is “big-sized” at around 1.7m to 1.75m tall, and is bigger and taller than Teh.

One of the neighbours said in Mandarin she had seen the pair around with a young child, and described them as a “very loving couple” who frequently patronised the nearby market.
Apart from Wong and Teh, the neighbours also said that there were three others living in the unit – the couple’s granddaughter and her parents. But the neighbours have not seen the occupants recently.
