Missing China girl feared she would be sold to human-smuggling syndicate
The disappearance of Han Yanfei on November 9, has become more mysterious with her mother claiming that the 28-year-old had expressed fears of becoming victim to a human-smuggling scheme.
Han Yanfei, a Chinese national who was linked to a man named Steven Ng, was reported missing after Ng was found drowned to death at East Coast.
In a police report made, Han Yanfei's aunt told police that Han had contacted her mother before going missing, expressing suspicions that she was about to be sold to a human-smuggling syndicate by Steven Ng.
She also informed her mother that she had bought an air ticket leaving Singapore to return home to China on November 27.
Han Yanfei never used the air ticket and has not been seen since November 9.
On December 7, the Crime Library released a statement saying:
"We have received an S.O.S email from China from a lady who needs help tracing her daughter, namely Miss Han Yanfei, aged 28, who arrived in Singapore as a performing artiste on 27 May 2009.
"Miss Han Yanfei has been missing since November 9 2009, when she did not report to work at Song KTV P/L at 113 Telok Ayer Street.
"She left behind her passport and personal belongings.
"Her mother, Mdm Zhiang, last spoke to her daughter on November 5 2009 and was told that she wanted to leave Singapore and even bought an air ticket returning to China on November 27.
"According to her mother, Miss Han told her that she might be sold somewhere by a human-smuggling syndicate arranged by her male friend namely Steven Ng Yon Soon.
"There was also conversation between Mr Ng and others concerning money issues.
"Miss Han also told her mother that she would make a report at the Police Station at the Singapore Changi Airport before leaving Singapore.
"Then on November 13, her mother tried calling her but to no avail.
"Mdm Zhang then contacted her cousin, Miss Hu, who is working in Singapore to assist her in contacting her daughter but she could not find her either.
"Miss Hu only managed to find out that Miss Han went out with a male friend (Mr Steven Ng Yon Soon) on November 8 to Sentosa and never returned.
"Miss Hu also found Mr Steven Ng Yon Soon's obituary published in Shin Min Daily on November 10 but Miss Han was still missing.
"Is there a connection between Mr Ng's death and the disappearance of Ms. Han?"
