Singapore woman killed in Spain: suspect’s Nissan car reportedly caught on CCTV at crime scene

Another key piece of evidence has emerged as the Spanish Civil Guard continues to build its case against Singaporean Mitchell Ong, the suspect in the killing of compatriot Audrey Fang.

A car rented by Ong was caught on closed-circuit television at the location where Fang’s body was found, a Spanish newspaper reported on Wednesday.

On April 9, Fang, who was on a solo trip to Spain, left her belongings at her hotel and was never heard from again.

According to Spanish online newspaper El Espanol, the chief inspector of the local police division came across the 39-year-old’s body with 30 stab wounds the next day while he was on his way to breakfast at a restaurant near the RM-422 highway in the town of Abanilla.

A preliminary autopsy report found that knife wounds and head trauma were the cause of her death, reported Spanish daily La Verdad de Murcia.

Ong was arrested in Alicante on April 16 and appeared in court three days later.

On Wednesday, La Verdad reported that a CCTV camera captured footage of a grey Nissan Qashqai entering the parking area of the restaurant, Los Collares, at 11.28pm on April 9 via the RM-422 highway.

The car stopped by an almond grove and remained in that same spot for 18 minutes until 11.46pm, when it left in the same direction it came from. Fang’s body was found in the grove on April 10.

Police traced the Qashqai to a rental company who identified Ong as the person who rented the car on April 3. It was still in his possession at the time of his arrest.

The authorities have also obtained footage confirming the route taken by Ong from his hotel in Alicante to Abanilla on April 9. A search by CNA on Google Maps showed that the Los Collares restaurant is about 70km, or an hour’s drive, away from Alicante.
