He appeared in court last Friday. \nOn Tuesday (Apr 23), La Verdad reported that detectives have honed in on the €935 (S$1,350) limited edition Nike sneakers that were found in Ong's hotel room when he was arrested in Alicante. Cash in the form of €3,760 and S$1,000 were also found in the room and seized.\nAccording to the newspaper, the soles of the shoes match the footprints found at the crime scene. The Spanish Civil Guard have since sent a sample of the soil embedded in the soles for a laboratory analysis to determine if it matches the soil found on Ms Fang's body.\nThey are also looking to compare that sample with the sandstone found in the Abanilla area. \nThe sneakers are of particular importance to police due to their exclusivity - it retails for €935 on luxury clothing website Farfetch, and are European size 48.5. That size corresponds with Ong's build and 1.88m height.\nCourt documents seen by La Verdad have also detailed other evidence building against Ong.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nA judge in the Magistrates' Court of Cieza, which is overseeing this case, noted what the suspect wore on the evening of Apr 9 when Ms Fang was last seen, and when he returned a few hours later. \nClosed-circuit television cameras at the hotel where Ong was staying captured the 43-year-old leaving at around 5.45pm while dressed in a hoodie and black pants. \nHe returned to the hotel in the early hours of Apr 10 at around 2.06am, wearing jeans and a blue sweater. Ong, who got married in 2012 and owned several businesses in Singapore, was due to meet his Ukrainian girlfriend at the same hotel the following day, reported La Verdad.\nSpanish police have proven that both Ms Fang's and Ong's mobile phones were together in Abanilla on the day she died, according to local newspaper Levante El Mercantil Valenciano. \nIt added that she was not sexually assaulted and that the two had known each other for many years. \nThe judge said it is inferred “without a doubt” that both Singaporeans were in the same area and in the same time slot on the day the crime was committed, based on data provided by mobile phone operators in Abanilla.\nOng is currently remanded in custody, pending investigations, and he will remain in jail as he is considered to be a flight risk and due to the seriousness of the offence. \nThe judge noted that Ong is a Singaporean with no roots in Spain, and has \"sufficient economic capacity” to leave the country.\nBoth the prosecutor’s office and the Spanish lawyer hired by Ms Fang's family, Manuel Martínez, have demanded Ong's remand be extended. \nThe report by Levante El Mercantil Valenciano said there might have been an \"economic motive\" for the killing, adding that Ms Fang had reportedly transferred money to an unidentified third person. \nSources also told La Verdad of an \"economic motive\", corroborating Levante El Mercantil Valenciano's report, while adding that she had participated in a type of investment fund. \nHowever, it is not ruled out that the murder was committed over a sentimental issue.\n\n\n\n\n\"VERY SAD AND HORRIFIED\"\nWhile their lawyer in Spain has said that Ong's trial could take a year or more, the family of Ms Fang are hoping to get more answers over her killing.\nSpeaking to CNA on Monday, her brother and cousin, who flew to Spain to look for her, opened up about their shock upon learning of her killing.\n\"We're just very sad and horrified that she was taken in such a horrible way,\" said her brother Benjamin Fang, 35.\nMs Fang was an architect who worked in a design services company while keeping her late mother's floral business alive. \nShe had dreamt of retiring early and moving to Bali with her cousin, to live in a home she would personally design.\nHer body remains in Spain, and can only be repatriated when an English death certificate and embalming certificate have been issued. That is expected to happen sometime this week, they said.\nMr Fang said he had never heard of Ong and did not know what kind of relationship his sister had with the suspect. Ong's Instagram profile depicts him as a frequent gym user with a penchant for global raves.\n\"It's still quite ambiguous to us,\" he added. \"In the meantime, we're going to ask more friends and family if they've seen this person, if they know of any relationship ... if anybody knows anything about this guy.\"","kind":null,"is_publish_news":null,"is_publish_highlight":null,"is_publish_live":null,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":1},"commentList":[],"isCommentEnd":true,"newsSizeData":{"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"favoriteSize":0,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false},"APP":{"userAgent":"Mozilla/5.0 AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko; compatible; ClaudeBot/1.0; +claudebot@anthropic.com)","isDev":false,"isTTM":true,"deviceId":"web-server-community-laohu8-v3","version":"4.22.4","shortVersion":"4.22.4","platform":"web","vendor":"web","appName":"ttm","isIOS":false,"isAndroid":false,"isTiger":false,"isTHS":false,"isWeiXin":false,"isWeiXinMini":false,"isWeiBo":false,"isQQ":false,"isBaiduSwan":false,"isBaiduBox":false,"isDingTalk":false,"isToutiao":false,"isOnePlus":false,"isHuaWei":false,"isXiaomi":false,"isXiaomiWebView":false,"isOppo":false,"isVivo":false,"isSamsung":false,"isMobile":false},"href":"/m/news/2429593071"}
