Police find human remains in Hamilton landfill as search for missing woman continues
Partial human remains have been found in a months-long search of a Hamilton landfill as police investigate the disappearance of a woman who was last heard from in December. Hamilton police said Thursday they are now waiting on DNA test results to confirm an identity. Det. Sgt. Daryl Reid said investigators believe Shalini Singh was killed in her apartment and her body was removed through the building's garbage system. Singh was initially reported missing in December alongside her boyfriend, but police said he showed up at a family member's house outside the city the next day and has allegedly refused to co-operate with the investigation. Police said they obtained surveillance footage from the apartment building where the couple lived and there's no video of Singh leaving after Dec. 4, the day her family last heard from her. Police have been searching the Glanbrook landfill since late February and the partial remains were found last week. Reid said Singh's family has been informed about the discovery and is receiving support from the force's victim services unit. 'Information that I provided to them last week was hard for them to hear, but it's also a first step in hopefully getting some answers for the family,' he told a news conference. 'They have been very patient and anxious just waiting to find out what happened to their loved one.' Anyone with information about the case is urged to come forward.
