If he had money and flowers in his room, maybe he was hoping to bring her there to manipulate her but maybe she rejected going to his hotel/place. Then they had argument and end up he roid rage. That seems at least plausible.

Yeah. Probably trying hard to impress others. Let others know he is rich and good looking. So build up his body. Spend a lot on branded goods. For a 43 year old, he looks damn old.

Looking at his failed businesses, when ethical means of getting rich doesn't work, use unethical means just to keep up the false front and sustain a unsustainable lifestyle. Thats when sheet happens. Like someone said previously, probably a narcissist.
Fake till make it mah! Remember our Newcastle buying Loh cousins + ATB company

Murder in Spain: Singaporean suspect travelled overseas often for business and rave parties​


SINGAPORE - The man allegedly linked to the murder of Singaporean architect Audrey Fang regularly travelled overseas for business and to attend dance parties, said those familiar with him.

Mitchell Ong, who was identified on April 20 by Spanish media as a suspect in the case, is a fitness enthusiast who frequented a gym in Orchard Road three to five times a week.

An acquaintance, who declined to be identified, said he knew that Ong, 43, often travelled overseas.

“He was nice during the interactions I had with him... I recall he likes to travel for business and raves,” he said.

A check on Ong’s Instagram account showed that he had attended several music festivals abroad. Between 2022 and 2024, he also travelled to different parts of Europe.

In a more recent post, he shared that he was in Alicante on April 4, the same day Ms Fang travelled alone to Xabia, which is about 80km away. In another post, Ong showed that he had purchased a gaming card valued at a few thousand dollars.

Ong, who described himself as being 1.88m tall on his Instagram page, was arrested in his hotel room in Alicante on April 16.

Another acquaintance of Ong, who also frequented the same gym, said the suspect had previously told him that he was working in the financial industry.

He recalled Ong being a bit of an “awkward” person who sported expensive sneakers.

“I would say he cared a lot about what he was wearing,” added the man, who is in his 20s.

A business colleague of Ong said they got to know each other about 15 years ago when he started providing marketing services to the suspect, including for an online IT store that was incorporated in 2013.

A search of business records showed the store is no longer in operation.

The man, who is in his 30s, said: “Generally, he was a nice person to work with, so I was quite shocked when I read the news.

“We stopped talking just before the pandemic, but I remember him as always being prompt with payments.

“The different projects I worked with him usually cost about $2,000 or so, depending on the specifics, but he was never a customer that I needed to badger for payments.

“He would check the work and if it was all good, he would pay up.”

However, a former director at the IT store had a different experience working with Ong.

The foreign national, who wanted to be known as John, said he was working in a computer store in Singapore when Ong visited as a customer.

They eventually became business partners when they started the IT store. Within a year, John, 36, said their business relationship had soured.

Before returning to his home country, John claimed Ong threatened that he would “make some problem” for John if he ever returned to Singapore.

“He is ambitious and organised, but the bad thing about him is his temper,” John added.

Ong, who was married in 2012, according to a Registry of Marriages search, had his hand in several businesses.

He is still listed as a director in a company based in Goldhill Shopping Centre that is involved in the insurance line.

A check by The Straits Times of the company’s address showed it is now occupied by an education centre.

On April 21, ST visited Ong’s residential address – a condominium unit in Bukit Timah. Several attempts to reach its occupants via an intercom outside the building were unsuccessful.

According to his LinkedIn page, which was removed on April 20 while he was in custody in Spain, he has been working as a private wealth management specialist since 2011.

He previously worked as a financial services consultant from 2014 to 2019, and a financial adviser from 2011 to 2013.

Ong is said to have studied economics at the National University of Singapore, and was previously from a popular all-boys secondary school and one of the top junior colleges here.

Spanish media La Verdad de Murcia, quoting sources close to the investigation, said on April 20 that an “economic motive” may be behind the murder. It said Ms Fang had made some investments, with recent transfers to an unidentified third person.

It added that officers from the Murcia Judicial Police, who searched the suspect’s hotel room, found Ms Fang’s mobile phone among his possessions.

Ms Fang, 39, went missing while on holiday in Xabia, in south-eastern Spain. She was seen alive on April 9 at 8.45pm (2.45am on April 10, Singapore time) on closed-circuit television cameras.

Her body was found the next day at a lorry park around 150km away, or about two hours’ drive from her hotel.

She was reportedly stabbed more than 30 times.

Private wealth management specialist? 🙄 Basically an insurance agent since 2011 who also had side businesses.

And why the secrecy with his secondary school and JC?

Suspect its investment gone wrong and maybe he felt threatened that he would be reported to authorities and turn violent. :(

The Spanish cops said they found lotsa cash in his hotel room. If that was her money, Audrey could bring so much money to Spain meh? There is also a limit even if you use Maestro to draw cash from Spain's ATM. You can't draw out so much one leh.

if he really is the killer behind this Audrey, gotta say this guy not simple.

in Spain the maximum penalty is like 20 - 25 years assuming their prosecutor can prove more than one aggravating factor in the murder... what's more spain has no death penalty..

if in SG, he would have tio death penalty already

what's more murder is not an extra-territorial offence

can't believe it but this guy (if he is really the killer) gets to walk a free man 20 - 25 years after being sentenced...

Mitchell Ong's now-defunct website listed his qualifications as a financial expert.


SINGAPORE – A large amount of money was reportedly found in the hotel room of the man linked to the murder of Singaporean architect Audrey Fang in Spain.
Mitchell Ong, who was identified on April 20 by Spanish media as a suspect in the case, was also said to be wearing €1,000 (S$1,450) shoes, and his social media posts show that he had a penchant for the opulent.
On an archived version of his defunct website, where the 43-year-old offered financial advice, Ong claimed to be an “expert”, with clients spanning chief executives, celebrities, the heads of banks and even regulators from the Monetary Authority of Singapore.
Among the achievements he listed were boasts of cashing out cryptocurrency investments and losing 15kg of body fat.
He also said he was the “sole Singapore representative” in 2018 to attend the 10X Growth Conference in Las Vegas and 10X Business Boot Camp in Miami.
A check on the events’ websites showed that tickets to these events can be purchased for a four-figure sum.


To promote his website – whose domain was registered in 2016, according to the WHOIS public database – Ong commissioned a series of videos on YouTube, which were uploaded in 2018.


corporations and affiliates as well as their agents and authorised service providers.
marketing and promotions.
An individual who worked with him on the videos told The Straits Times that the shoot was “poorly planned”, and seemed to just be random sequences of Ong around Singapore, San Francisco and Miami.
“The gist I got was that he wanted the videos to promote some course. I asked him if it’s a course he was selling or some online workshop that he was doing, but I think he wasn’t sure himself,” the 28-year-old said.
On his website, Ong also featured links to his multiple social media accounts, and listed “successful business ventures” that he launched.

A list of achievements that Mitchell Ong listed on his now-defunct website.

But checks by ST found that of the six companies he was involved with, five are now defunct. The remaining one, which deals with insurance, was incorporated in 1972, with Ong listed as the director since March 2009.
His website appeared to be out of use as at 2021, based on the Internet Archive’s records.
According to Ong’s LinkedIn profile, which was removed on April 20 while he was in custody in Spain, he has been working as a private wealth management specialist since 2011.
He also worked as a financial services consultant from 2014 to 2019, and a financial adviser from 2011 to 2013, among other finance-related positions.



Spanish news outlet La Opinion de Murcia reported on April 19 that Ong was not known to be working presently, citing sources close to the investigation.
Ong has been remanded in Spain in connection with the death of Ms Fang, 39, whose body was found in Abanilla in the Murcia region with stab wounds on April 10.
