Members of the Spanish Civil Guard escort Mitchell Ong into a court room on Apr 19, 2024, after he was arrested in connection with the death of Singaporean Audrey Fang. MURCIA: Charges against a man suspected of killing a Singaporean woman in Spain may be months away, with a police report yet to be completed, sources close to the investigation said.Ms Fang’s body was found on Apr 10 with 30 stab wounds.
During the court hearing, Manuel Martinez, the lawyer representing Ms Fang’s family had pressed for a murder charge, but the defence said it was too early for such a classification, given that the police report was not yet ready. Investigators said the motive remains unclear and many questions remain unanswered because Ong has not given a statement to the authorities, holding up proceedings.
Ms Fang was staying at the Ritual de Tierra hotel in Javea during a solo trip to Spain. On Apr 9, she left her belongings in her room and was picked up at her hotel by a car. “If the nomination is found to be invalid, CPF savings will generally be distributed based on an earlier nomination if any, or according to intestacy laws.”“As the incident had happened in Spain, the Singapore Police Force has and will continue to render the necessary assistance to the Spanish authorities within the ambit of our laws.”Spanish police found expensive clothes and large amounts of cash while searching Ong’s hotel room in Alicante.
