The girl was in an elevator on the fifth floor of her grandmother’s flat in a seven-story Slum Rehabilitation Authority (SRA) property playing hide-and-seek with her brothers and cousins when another lift descended from the seventh floor and hit her in the head. She passed away at a hospital. Local authorities are looking into criminal charges against the SRA society, in light of residents requesting the window be covered with glass and that never happening.
