Audrey Fang, who was found dead with 30 stab wounds in Spain, nominated her suspected killer to be the beneficiary of her Central Provident Fund savings around six months before her death.

A screengrab shows members of the Civil Guard near where Ms Audrey Fang's body was found in Spain. "We have spoken to the two witnesses and they were close friends with my sister," Ms Fang's brother Benjamin Fang, 35, told CNA."Everything they know about the link between my sister and the suspect been disclosed to us."

The CPF Board told Mr Fang that his sister's savings will not be distributed until the court case in Spain concludes. Additionally, CPF said the money will not go to Ong if he is convicted. Mr Martinez added that Ong has exercised his right not to testify and has not explained the evidence against him. He remains in pre-trial detention because the judge found there was"sufficient circumstantial evidence to hold him allegedly responsible for Audrey's death".

That will allow him to look into her past records as well, but this could take three to five months, he said.When Ms Fang travelled to Spain alone, she told her family that she might be meeting a former colleague during her trip but did not give further details. She stopped responding to messages from her family on Apr 9 and never boarded her flight home.Mr Fang had never heard of Ong before he was arrested and did not know what his sister's relationship with the suspect was.

"I was indeed surprised that she seemed to have a close relationship with such a person," Mr Fang said."My sister was a down-to-earth, stay home kind of woman. The suspect is apparently the direct opposite."
