SINGAPORE: Ms Audrey Fang, the Singaporean woman who was killed in Spain more than two weeks ago, had bought insurance policies from her suspected killer in 2015, her family discovered on Saturday (Apr 27).
They were looking through her belongings when they came across two investment-linked policies from insurer AIA, said her cousin who only wanted to be known as Ms See.
The policies were sold by an agent by the name of Ong Cheong Yi, and the family was told that Ong Cheong Yi is the suspect Mitchell Ong’s Chinese name.
According to a LinkedIn profile that has since been deleted, Ong worked in AIA from January 2014 to February 2019.
The family previously did not know what kind of relationship Ms Fang had with Ong, who is suspected of killing her.
Ms Fang, 39, was found dead with 30 stab wounds on Apr 10 in Spain, where she had been on a solo trip. With the help of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Ms Fang’s body was repatriated to Singapore.
Dozens of relatives, classmates, colleagues and friends were at the first day of her funeral wake on Saturday to pay their respects. The wake will last for three days until Apr 29.
Her uncle, who wanted to be known only as Mr See, said Ms Fang was supposed to travel to Japan with his wife, his daughter and another relative.
“My wife packed all her luggage,” said Mr See, 71. They were supposed to fly out on Saturday.
After what happened to Ms Fang, his wife has been “crying non-stop”, he said, tearing up. “We were very close.”
