by

SINGAPORE: A man who is suspected of killing a Singaporean woman in Spain is a beneficiary of her Central Provident Fund (CPF) savings, a Spanish media outlet reported on Monday (Jun 3).

Mitchell Ong, 43, was arrested on Apr 16 over the killing of Ms Audrey Fang while she was on holiday in Spain. 

Her body was found on Apr 10 with 30 stab wounds, about 150km from the hotel where she was staying. 

Spanish news outlet La Verdad reported on Monday that a court in Cieza had on May 16 received confirmation from the CPF Board that Ms Fang had named Ong as a beneficiary of her CPF money.

CPF is a mandatory social security savings scheme that is funded by contributions from employers and employees. In the event of the person’s death, these savings are given to the person’s nominee or nominees.

If no nomination is made, the money will be handed to the Public Trustee’s Office to be distributed to family members.

According to the report, Ms Fang, 39, had accumulated up to €340,000 (S$500,000) in her CPF accounts.
