In case you’ve been living under a rock, you’d know about the Ms Audrey Fang case. Ms Fang’s body was found with brutal marks of an attack on 10 Apr after she had been uncontactable and never returned to Singapore as scheduled.

The alleged killer is Mitchell Ong, also known as Ong Cheong Yi, who had allegedly sold her insurance policies and was located near her hotel.

Unknown CPF Nomination, Spanish Police Investigations Still Ongoing 

As the Spanish police continue to investigate the killing of Ms Audrey Fang, a new piece of evidence has surfaced that can potentially cement the possibility of an “economic motive” to the murder.

According to a report by La Verdad on Monday (29 Apr), investigators found a note on her iPad indicating that Ms Fang had decided to nominate an unknown person for her Central Provident Fund (CPF).

This changed nomination to a “trusted confidant” means that the nominated person can attain a payout from her CPF savings upon her death.

The note on her iPad, which was reportedly written on 24 Mar, seemed to serve as a justification for the CPF nomination.

The Spanish newspaper said the note wrote: “I want to declare that my decision to name you in my CPF is because you have been a friend for a long time and my trusted confidant”.

Not only that, as investigations unpacked the semantics of the note after suspicions rose about whether she wrote the note in the first place.

One thing that stood out was the use of the word “Heya”.

Family members who were shown the note by the Spanish police said that the word was not characteristic of Ms Fang.

Ms Fang’s brother told The Straits Times that that slang for hello is typically used by those who are deeply familiar with the language. Ms Fang mostly spoke in Mandarin.

The Fang family also noted that the change in CPF nomination wasn’t made known to them.

Unknown Loans, Family Concerned

Aside from the change in CPF nomination, the note on the iPad included a loan of about US$50,000 that wasn’t in SGD.

The loan was also given to the same unknown beneficiary of the CPF nomination, and it was supposedly made based on a friendship.

Like all of us, the Spanish newspaper said that it raises more questions than answers – who are they? why them? why didn’t she tell anyone?

Family Might Seek International Commission

The family told La Verdad that the trip itself was suspicious, given that it was made last minute. She was also supposed to depart for Japan on 27 Apr, making this trip a back-to-back one.

Ms Fang’s cousin also mentioned that they expressed their concern, saying that it was “not good”.

Ever since the suspect’s arrest, Mitchell Ong hadn’t said a word of information that could potentially help the investigation.

In fact, La Verdad said that he appeared before the court saying he was a “good person”.

Mr Manual Martinez, the Spanish lawyer who is representing Ms Fang and her family, spoke to La Verdad and mentioned that the family is still seeking answers and hopes to better understand the relationship between Ms Fang and the suspect.

Most notably, the family is also looking to seek an international commission to allow Ms Fang’s friends to testify.

This means that they might seek help involving an organisation that can help settle any legal disputes on an international level smoothly.

Over in TikTok, there’s a drama involving property agents that’s caused by us. Here’s what happened:
