His ex-girlfriend arrived in Spain on Apr 12 and left their shared hotel room five days later as she was “afraid”, according to the court statement.
During their time together in Alicante, she testified Ong was “aggressive” and would throw “tantrums” on several occasions. Ong would yell at her and, in one instance, threw a chair at her after an argument.
Besides the unexplained “injuries” on Ong’s knees, the woman also recalled in her statement that he had acted strangely as though he was “paralysed” while they were in Alicante.
When asked what was wrong, Ong said that she should “be happy” that he was still “normal” after what he had “done”, without going into further detail.
REPORTED FINANCIAL TROUBLES
Ms Fang’s brother Benjamin Fang previously told CNA that his sister had nominated Ong to be the beneficiary of her Central Provident Fund (CPF), a mandatory social security savings scheme.
Around the time Ms Fang nominated Ong as her beneficiary, almost S$200,000 (US$148,000) was deposited into her CPF account.
Two close friends of Ms Fang have since said that the victim had been romantically interested in Ong, but he seemed interested only in selling financial products to her.
