Maybe the advancements in technology help the police crack the case

SINGAPORE: A man has been arrested for the murder of a 19-year-old woman, 13 years after she was reported missing by her mother.

Police arrested the 35-year-old man on Tuesday (Dec 15) and he will be given the capital charge in court on Thursday afternoon.

The man is suspected of causing the death of Ms Felicia Teo Wei Ling with an accomplice who was Ms Teo's friend.

The suspected accomplice is currently not in Singapore and police are trying to locate him, the authorities said in a statement on Thursday.

Ms Teo, who would have been 32 this year, was reported missing on Jul 3, 2007 by her mother.

She could not be found despite extensive investigations at the time, but the police said that she was last seen at the suspected accomplice's home in Marine Terrace.

Police interviewed both men, as they were believed to have last seen Ms Teo in the flat. 

However, the two men maintained that Ms Teo had left the flat in the wee hours of Jun 30, 2007, of her own accord.

Nothing incriminating was found after a search of the unit and a check on closed-circuit television footage in the area.

As there were no facts at the time to link the two men to Ms Teo’s disappearance, it was classified as a missing persons case and a police gazette was issued to find her.

The police explained in their statement that unsolved missing person reports are regularly reviewed for further leads.

The reviews uncovered no new leads until the case was referred to the Criminal Investigation Department after the latest review in July this year as part of police processes for long-standing unsolved missing person cases.

Fresh leads were found when investigators traced the belongings believed to be in Ms Teo’s possession when she was reported missing.

Police linked one of her belongings to the 35-year-old suspect and said they are continuing their search for Ms Teo’s remains. 

Preliminary investigations revealed that she had died before the report was lodged in early July 2007, and that the two men had allegedly disposed of her body.

The penalty for murder is death.

Hopefully missing persons cases are taken more seriously and with more priority now.

It's kinda strange that the case is only handed over to CID recently. And within months they found fresh leads.

So teenage girls her age run away from home is quite common?

Something is wrong with their system somewhere. It shouldn't take that long to solve a missing person's case.

SINGAPORE — A 35-year-old man has been charged for his suspected involvement in the murder of a 19-year-old student who went missing more than a decade ago.

The fate of Felicia Teo Wei Ling, who went missing in 2007, was finally revealed on Thursday (17 December) when Singaporean Ahmad Danial Mohamed Rafa’ee appeared in court via videolink.

He was charged with murdering Teo with common intention with another man, 32-year-old Ragil Putra Setia Sukmarahjana. Both men were the last people to see Teo alive, according to past media reports.

According to the charge sheet, the murder took place between 1.39am and 7.20am on 30 June 2007 – the day of her disappearance – at a flat in Block 19 Marine Terrace. No details were given on how the crime was carried out.

The two men are also believed to have disposed of Teo’s body, which the police are currently still searching for. Ragil is not in Singapore and the police are attempting to locate him.

Ahmad, who goes by the name Danial Enemiko in his social media accounts, is listed as a Creative Manager at Razer an electronics company which was founded by Singaporean Tan Min-Liang, since April this year.

Ahmad’s LinkedIn page states that he studied at Lasalle College of the Arts - same as Teo - from 2000 to 2004. He specialised in Communication Design and Advertising there.

Ahmad is currently on medical leave and will continue to be remanded after it ends. The prosecution applied to have him taken out for investigations. He will return to court on 24 December.

Hope there's closure for her family. 

But surprising that they managed to dispose of the remains in such a small city like ours.

Yeah, agree.

Forensic science has long been an important tool in solving crimes but what come as a surprise is how long it took for this case :slow:
