Lebenese Singer Death In Her Jumeirah Beach Residence "JBR" Apartment

TRAGIC DEATH: Singer Suzan Tamim was

found dead in her Dubai apartment.

Monday (Jul28, 2008) was the last day in life of the young Lebanese singer Susan Tamim - 31 years old.

She was murdered in her apartment by someone who's still unknown by police.
Dubai Police said the singer was stabbed several hours before her body was discovered. (GulfNews says)
Susan had been living in her apartment in Jumeirah Beach Residence "JBR", Rimal 1 tower, 22nd floor. (The National says)

This is the first accident to happen in JBR and Susan is the first murder victim in JBR. Residents of JBR hope that this accident will be the one and only.

Jumeirah Beach Residence "JBR" residents now don't feel secure.

One New Zealander who lives in the Amwaj cluster of JBR, which is several hundred metres from Tamim’s apartment, said: “There are too many entrances for the apartments to be secure. Pretty much anyone can gain access to the building from the Marina Walk side of the development. Since this has happened, and the fact that we don’t know if this was an isolated incident against this poor woman or if the killer will strike again, I have changed how I go about my day.
“I double lock my door, park my car next to the elevator and check who’s around when I get out of my car. Speaking to my neighbours, it has got a lot of people frightened in JBR, many people are in shock.” (The National says)

RIP Susan.
