SINGAPORE: A man who was nabbed in Malaysia was charged in a Singapore court on Friday (Nov 18) with the murder of a 27-year-old woman.
Caleb Joshua Chai Shanmugam, a 50-year-old Singaporean, was charged on Friday with the murder of 27-year-old Ang Qi Ying.
He is accused of causing her death through unspecified means at about 7pm on Nov 9 at Block 2, Beach Road.
Chai was charged via a field magistrate and his case will be heard in court for a further mention next week.
The woman had been reported missing on the evening of Nov 10, but the accused had left Singapore for Malaysia that very morning.
On Nov 13, Singapore Police Force (SPF) officers went to a shop along Beach Road to investigate a case of unnatural death. They found Ms Ang within the premises, and she was pronounced dead by a paramedic at the scene.
The accused was identified in connection with the case, and SPF sought the assistance of the Royal Malaysia Police to locate the man.
He was nabbed by Malaysian police in Johor Bahru on Nov 16, and handed over to SPF.
