She was 2nd of 3 children
Not to mention that Winnifred also came from a good family – her father Teo Koo Jim was a director of a timber firm, according to news reports.
At the time of the incident, he was in Munich on a business trip and cut it short to rush home.
The wealthy family also has an elder daughter and younger son.
The media had speculated that Winnifred’s murder could be linked to a business rivalry, but Mr Teo rubbished the claim.
Instead, the police believe the girl had unfortunately been preyed on by a sex pervert.
A member of the public has come forward with a tip-off regarding the unsolved case of a seven-year-old girl who was raped and murdered in Singapore in June 1995.
The deceased, Lim Shiow Rong, was found in the morning in a drain near Jalan Woodbridge, some 8km from where she was last seen at about 9:30pm in Toa Payoh the night before.
Her body was discovered strangled and in a semi-sitting position.
The tip-off came almost 26 years after the little girl s death, following the family s latest public appeal, where they went to the media to publicise the case.
The family is appealing for any new information from the public, as they are motivated to crack this cold case after seeing the police make progress with the Felicia Teo murder case some 13 years after it happened.

SINGAPORE - The petite woman is often spotted apron-clad at a coffee shop at Block 75 Toa Payoh Lorong 5, busy clearing glasses and taking orders. The coffee shop owner chats easily with customers, but this merely masks the disquiet Madam Ang Goon Lay, 65, struggles with.
It has been nearly 26 years since her seven-year-old daughter Lim Shiow Rong was raped and strangled, and the murderer is still out there.
On June 24, 1995, Shiow Rong told her mother she was off to see papa s friend and ran off while Madam Ang was busy at the coffee shop, which used to be owned by her husband.
