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 (April 27).
They were looking through her belongings when they came across two investment-linked policies from insurer AIA, said her cousin who wanted to be known only as Ms See.
The policies were sold by an agent named Ong Cheong Yi, which the family was told is the suspect Mitchell Ong's Chinese name.
Marriage registration records in Singapore also show that the suspect got married in June 2012 under the name Ong Cheong Yi.
According to a LinkedIn profile that has since been deleted, Ong worked at AIA from January 2014 to February 2019.
The family previously did not know what kind of relationship Ms Fang had with Ong.
Ms Fang, 39, was found dead with 30 stab wounds on April 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 April 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."
Ms Fang arrived in Spain on April 4 and had been due to return to Singapore on April 12, according to Spanish media outlets.
She left her belongings in her luxury hotel in Javea on April 9 and became uncontactable shortly after.
The following day, her body was found near a parking area for lorries in the town of Abanilla, about 150km away.
Spanish newspaper La Verdad de Murcia said a preliminary autopsy found that knife wounds and head trauma were the cause of death.
Ong, a 43-year-old Singaporean, was arrested on April 16 in Alicante in connection with her death. At the time of his arrest, the authorities did not reveal the nature of their relationship.
He appeared in court on April 19.
Mr See said the family was told that Ong could have been released from custody within 48 hours because there had not been enough incriminating evidence, but the judge agreed to their lawyer's request for him to be remanded in custody while investigations continued.
He added that the Spanish police and the family's lawyer have been helpful.
ECONOMIC MOTIVE?
It was previously reported that there might have been an "economic" motive for the killing, with Spanish media outlet Levante El Mercantil Valenciano saying that Ms Fang had transferred money to an unidentified third person.Mr See said the family was concerned that Ong may have been nominated to receive Ms Fang's Central Provident Fund (CPF) money.
Spanish police retained her electronic devices for investigations and told the family that there was an attempt to make changes to Ms Fang's CPF account in March, before she left for her trip.
Now that the family has received Ms Fang's death certificate, they plan to approach the authorities to check if Ong had been made a beneficiary for her insurance plans or CPF money.
They will also try to verify whether money was transferred out of her bank account.
CHEERFUL AND OUTGOING
Former colleagues at Sunray Woodcraft Construction came to say their final goodbyes to Ms Fang on Saturday night.She had worked there for around eight years before leaving the firm and was due to return to the company sometime after her trip to Japan.
Those who spoke to CNA at the wake described her as cheerful and outgoing, but kept her personal life separate from work.
Mr KC Lee, 36, said he was not on the same team as Ms Fang, but met her during informal meetings where several project teams would gather.
"She could always take a joke," he said, adding that they always had fun during meetings.
Mr Allen Toh, 57, was Ms Fang's superior during her stint at Sunray. He said she was approachable and was a happy-go-lucky person.
"We are quite close, it's like brother and sister when we worked under the same team," he said. CNA

在西班牙不幸遇害的本地女子的家属发现，死者曾在2015年向嫌凶购买保险，家属也担心她出发去西班牙前，曾试图把嫌凶提名为她公积金存款的受益人。
向嫌凶购买两份保单
新传媒英语新闻台CNA报道，40岁死者方迪柔Audrey Fang的亲属透露，他们在翻看死者的遗物时，发现了两份友邦保险公司(AIA)的投资联结保单保单是向名为Ong Cheong Yi的经纪购买的，而家属被告知Ong Cheong Yi就是43岁新加坡籍嫌凶Mitchell Ong的全名。嫌凶目前还押在西班牙。
根据家属透露，嫌凶在西班牙被捕后，原本因罪证不足可在48小时内被释放，但法官最终同意了律师的请求，在调查案件期间继续将他还押。
警方发现死者曾试图更改公积金受益人
西班牙媒体早前曾披露此案或许涉及金钱纠纷，也说死者曾转钱给一个不知名人士。方迪柔的71岁姨丈施先生透露，西班牙警方调查了方迪柔的电子器材，之后通知家属说方迪柔在出发去西班牙前，曾在三月份试图更改名下公积金存款的受益人。
家属说，他们担心方迪柔把她公积金的受益人改为嫌凶，打算在丧礼后拿着她的死亡证书去当局查询，找出谁是她的保单和公积金存款的受益人。
另外，他们也打算到银行查证她早前是否曾从户口转钱给他人。
遗体运抵我国治丧 首日上百人吊唁
方迪柔的遗体昨天(27日)运抵我国，家属为她治丧三天，第一天就有上百人到治丧处吊唁。《8视界新闻网》报道，方迪柔的灵堂设在柏提路第203座组屋底层。她的姨丈施先生告诉记者，他们一家同外甥女感情深厚。妻子本来准备和外甥女到日本旅游，所有东西都收拾好了，遗憾的是永远都无法成行。妻子至今还是难以接受，日日以泪洗面。
施先生也说，方迪柔的父亲最近情况不佳，他会尽量陪伴，提供帮助。
方迪柔定明天(29日)早上10点多出殡，前往万礼火化。
