OUG shooting probe finished

KUALA LUMPUR: The investigation into the murder of real estate agent Datin Renyce Wong Siew Ling has been completed and the suspects are expected to be charged soon.

City police chief Comm Datuk Amar Singh said the Attorney-General’s Chambers had instructed that seven of the suspects be charged with murder and abetment, while three would be prosecution witnesses.

“The seven will be charged in sta­ges with four of them to be sent to Perak for pending cases there. We have concluded the investigation,” he said in a statement yesterday.

It was earlier reported that a businessman facing a debt of RM13mil allegedly hired two hitmen to kill the woman, who was shot dead in a brazen attack in Taman OUG earlier this month.

The businessman allegedly paid the two men RM60,000 for the hit.

He was among eight people, aged between 26 and 54, arrested in multiple swoops in the city and Perak last Tuesday.

Others arrested were the businessman’s wife, a restaurant owner and his wife along with two tow truck drivers.

Six shell casings recovered from the crime scene in Taman OUG were a direct match with those ta­ken from three other shootings in Perak.

The first case was an attempted murder where the victim was shot six times in Chemor. The second case was a victim shot eight times in front of his home in Sungai Siput Utara last year. The third was also a case in the same area.

Wong had transferred RM5mil and RM8mil in two transactions to the businessman in 2015 to be invested in a ceramics business but nothing came of it.

She then hired a private investigator to track him down.

Wong, 32, was shot while driving her children and maid to lunch at about 2.30pm on the first day of Hari Raya.

Her daughter, who was in the front passenger seat, was also hit when the gunmen fired five bullets at the Toyota Vellfire, one piercing her intestines in nine places.
