THE man, whose body was found stuffed in a trolley bag floating in the waters off Sentosa on Saturday morning, is believed to have been killed in an apartment in The Caribbean - an up-market condominium at Keppel Bay Drive.

However, many of the other details surrounding the killing of Mr Wong Teck Siong, 28, are still shrouded in secrecy. The ex-dancer, also known as Mr Huang Dexiong, is said to have been murdered between April 1 and 16 this year in a fifth-floor unit at the condominium.

These were the details that surfaced when Teo Boon Leng, 44, was charged with his murder of the younger man in a district court on Monday. District Judge Lim Tse Haw granted the prosecution's request for Teo to be remanded for a week at the Central Police Division and also allowed officers to take the businessman out to assist in the investigations.

In the dock, Teo, who was manacled hand and foot, looked on without expression during the five-minute hearing.

The stout, 1.7m-tall man with a broad craggy face, was dressed in a black Polo T-shirt and dark blue dungarees and slippers. Before he was led away by police officers, he smiled briefly at the two women in the public gallery. They declined comment when approached by reporters after the hearing.

'Suitcase murder': Businessman's murder charge dropped

Businessman Teo Boon Leng no longer faces a capital charge of murdering a man whose decomposed body was found in a trolley bag floating in the sea off Sentosa.

The prosecution on Wednesday applied for a discharge not amounting to an acquittal for the 45-year-old. But his lawyers wanted a full acquittal.

Teo had been in remand since April last year for the alleged murder of Mr Wong Teck Siong, 28, at the upmarket Caribbean At Keppel Bay condominium in Keppel Bay Drive between April 1 and 16 last year.

Mr Wong's body - which was clothed but carried no identification papers - was discovered on April 16 last year after two foreign construction workers spotted the trolley bag floating in the water off a building site at Resorts World Sentosa integrated resort.

District Judge Lim Tse Haw reserved his decision on whether to grant Teo a discharge not amounting to an acquittal or full acquittal after hearing arguments from both sides.

Meanwhile, the prosecution tendered 15 new charges against Teo.

Among his charges are for using Mr Wong's mobile phone to transmit false messages; depositing the trolley bag containing Mr Wong's corpse at the sea; having drug utensils and allowing the premises to be used by Mr Wong for drug-taking; failing to report Mr Wong's death to a police officer as soon as practicable; and removing the body from the premises when the death was reportable under the Coroner's Act.

Bail of $50,000 was offered. Teo will be back in court next Wednesday.

Trolley-bag murder suspect gets discharge, not full acquittal

A businessman in remand since April last year for the Sentosa trolley-bag murder was on Wednesday granted a discharge not amounting to an acquittal on the capital charge.

Lawyers for Teo Boon Leng, 45, who still faces other charges that include not reporting the death of his gay lover, failed to persuade the district court to award their client a full acquittal on the murder charge.

Teo was arrested after the decomposed body of Mr Dylan Wong Teck Siong, 28, was discovered stuffed in a bag found adrift in the waters off Sentosa, on April 16 last year. The murder was believed to have been committed at Teo's apartment at the upmarket Caribbean At Keppel Bay condominium.

After 16 months, the prosecution applied last week for Teo to be granted a discharge not amounting to an acquittal.

This means he could be charged with murder again if new evidence emerges. Had he been granted a full acquittal, there would be no possibility of him being charged again for the same offence.

Defence counsel Quek Mong Hua argued that this was not a case where investigations were ongoing or a key witness was yet to be found, so it was only right to grant Teo a full acquittal.

However, Deputy Public Prosecutor Christina Koh convinced District Judge Lim Tse Haw that he had no jurisdiction to grant an acquittal as the offence of murder could be tried only in the High Court.

The judge also turned down Mr Quek's request to refer the matter to the higher court so that the merits of a full acquittal could be argued.

He was charged in 2011 with the murder of a 28-year-old man in a Caribbean condominium unit at Keppel Bay Drive.

Businessman Teo Boon Leng, 45, was accused of killing Wong Teck Siong, whose body was found inside a trolley bag floating in the sea off Sentosa.

But Teo has escaped the gallows after the court yesterday granted him a discharge that has the effect of an acquittal.

But he is not totally off the hook as even though he is no longer accused of murder, he still has 15 other charges against him.

Man in "trolley bag" case pleads guilty to failing to report death

By Leong Wai Kit | Posted: 28 January 2013 1748 hrs

SINGAPORE: The lover of a businessman acquitted of murder in the "trolley bag" case pleaded guilty to a charge of failing to report the death to the police.

Pee Weai Hong, 33, admitted on Monday that he did not report the death of 28-year-old Dylan Wong Teck Siong on 2 April 2011 when he learnt about it the next day.

Mr Wong's decomposed body was stuffed in a trolley bag and was found in the waters off Sentosa on 16 April.

A businessman, Teo Boon Leng, was acquitted on 24 January of murdering Mr Wong.

The court heard on Monday that the three men were involved in a love triangle, which started two months before Mr Wong's death.

On the night Mr Wong died, Pee was not at the Keppel Bay apartment where the three men lived.
