Singapore police said Thursday they arrested a 34-year-old Indian man in connection with the murder of Philippine tourist Roselyn Reyes Pascua.

Pascua, 30, came to Singapore about three weeks ago to visit friends and relatives.

She was stabbed to death and found in her rented room Monday.

The suspect, who was not identified, would be charged with murder and, if convicted, faced the death penalty, a police statement said.
