BETTER STAY FAR FAR AWAY FROM LOW SES SIAOLANG SINKIES! SHE WOULD HAVE LIVE AND ENJOY LIFE IF SHE GO SPAIN TO MEET AMDK!
A Singaporean man has been remanded after appearing in court in Spain on April 19 in connection with the death of Singaporean architect Audrey Fang, who had gone missing last week while on holiday and was found with multiple stab wounds.
The 43-year-old suspect, who has not been named, as is custom in Spain, appeared in a court in Murcia in south-eastern Spain.
He was photographed being led by two Spanish Civil Guard officers into court, in handcuffs.
Ms Fang’s body was found with signs of an assault with a “bladed weapon”, the Spanish Civil Guard told The Straits Times.
Ms Fang, 39, was reportedly stabbed more than 30 times.
The court magistrate on April 19 said that her body can be returned to her family for repatriation to Singapore. An autopsy was completed by forensic scientists, but the results have not been made public.
Her body was found on April 10 at a lorry park in Abanilla, a municipality in the Murcia region, around 150km away – or about two hours’ drive – from her hotel in Xabia, also in south-eastern Spain, where she was seen alive on April 9 at 8.45pm on closed-circuit television (CCTV) cameras.
The Civil Guard, which is one of Spain’s two national police forces, said on April 19: “Police collected information and images from CCTV cameras at the hotel, and found out that she was picked up by a vehicle when she left the hotel the day before her death.”
The footage was too dark to avail precise information about the car, but the police managed to identify the make and model of the vehicle by analysing its size and design details.
By tracing the car’s route, the police were able to determine that it had started its journey at a carpark near a hotel in Alicante, a city in south-eastern Spain. “From there the car travelled to the hotel in Xabia and later to the town of Abanilla,” the Civil Guard said.
“Once this was established, a surveillance operation was set up, which culminated in the arrest of the suspect in his hotel room in Alicante on April 16. Murder squad detectives arrested a 43-year-old man from Singapore.”
The suspect was later handed over to the police in Murcia.
A spokeswoman for the Civil Guard also told ST: “As part of the investigation, he was traced via a car which he was renting.”
She added: “We know that the suspect may have known Ms Fang, and they may have been in a romantic relationship.
“We are still investigating the motive for this killing. There are various possible motives, which could be economic or a case of domestic violence.”
In a post on social media platform X, police said CCTV showed Ms Fang was picked up by a vehicle when she left her hotel the day before her death. Video provided by the Spanish Civil Guard.
In Spain, formal charges in criminal cases are placed only much later, once a magistrate has carried out an investigation. A trial could then take place up to a year later. In this case, the magistrate has imposed a secrecy order on the investigation, which is normal in Spain.
Ms Fang’s family identified her body at a morgue in Murcia on April 18. Local media published photographs of relatives crying outside the morgue.
Her brother, cousin and a family friend had travelled to Spain earlier to trace her whereabouts.
