Her body was flown back on-board a Singapore Airlines flight from Mumbai, accompanied by her husband.

THE body of Ms Lo Hwei Yen, who was a victim of the deadly Mumbai terror attacks, finally arrived in Singapore at around 8am on Sunday morning.

Her body was flown back on-board a Singapore Airlines flight from Mumbai, accompanied by her husband, Mr Michael Puhaindran. He had flown to Mumbai on Thursday night to identify her body.

The 28-year-old lawyer, who became Singapore's first terrorism fatality, was fatally shot on the 17th floor of the Oberoi Trident Hotel in Mumbai. Authorities confirmed her death on Friday.

She had gone to Mumbai on Wednesday to attend a business seminar and it was meant to be only a one-night trip.

A wake will be held for Ms Lo at Lower Delta Road later on Sunday.
