They later lodged a missing person’s report on 10 Nov.

 

On Sunday (13 Nov), the police found Ms Ang’s body at a shop along Beach Road. Paramedics pronounced her dead at the scene.

The authorities identified Chai in connection to the case but found that he had left Singapore for Malaysia on 10 Nov.
