The Northumbria Police also shared a timeline of events in connection to the woman’s passing.

According to the post, the Northumbria Police received a “report of concern” at about 7.15am on Monday (6 Dec).

Upon arriving at the scene, emergency services found that 51-year-old Pek Yi Ling wasn’t breathing.

Attempts to revive her proved futile and she was pronounced dead at the scene.

The police quickly launched an investigation and the deceased’s husband was arrested for suspected murder.

50-year-old Fong Soong Hert was charged with murder on the same day. He will remain in custody until his next court appearance, slated to happen on 11 Jan 2022.

Her husband, Mr Fong, is listed as the secretary of the same company.
