So, like, there’s this whole thing going on in Spain where the immigration police want this Singaporean guy, Mitchell Ong, to be sent back to Singapore ’cause they think he killed another Singaporean lady named Audrey Fang while she was on vacation there. It’s pretty intense, you know? Her body was found all stabbed up with like 30 wounds in April 2024.
The Spanish National Police’s Comisaria General de Extranjeria y Fronteras is all like, “Hey, Ong, you gotta go back to where you came from ’cause you were in Spain illegally.” They even want to ban him from coming back for 10 whole years. Audrey’s family’s private prosecution team is down with this deportation plan, as per reports from La Opinion de Murcia.
In Spain, victims can hire their own lawyers to be private prosecutors and do all sorts of legal stuff like present evidence, request statements, and lay charges. It’s a whole different deal from the public prosecution system. Right now, Ong is stuck in Sangonera prison in Murcia, waiting for his fate.
But get this, Ong’s defense lawyer, Maria Jesus Ruiz de Castaneda, ain’t feeling the whole deportation vibe. She’s all like, “Nah, we can’t send him back just yet ’cause he’s got legal proceedings to face here in Spain. It wouldn’t be fair to dodge that.” She’s also throwing shade at the European Convention on Human Rights, saying Ong’s expulsion would be a big no-no.
CNA has reached out to Ms. Ruiz de Castaneda and the Comisaria General de Extranjeria y Fronteras for more deets on this whole deportation drama.
As for what actually happened, Audrey Fang was doing her solo travel thing in Spain when she got found dead near a truck parking spot in Abanilla on April 10 last year. Reports say she had knife wounds and head trauma that did her in. Ong got nabbed a few days later ’cause security footage showed him picking up Audrey from her hotel in his car.
Dude hasn’t said a word about the whole mess yet. Both the Spanish public prosecutor’s office and the private prosecution team wanna slap him with a murder charge. And get this, Ong and Audrey have known each other for over a decade, and he even got named as a beneficiary of her Central Provident Fund not long before she passed away.
So, that’s the scoop on this whole Spain-Singapore murder mystery. Who knows how it’s all gonna play out, right? Just gotta wait and see.
