THE man, whose body was found stuffed in a trolley bag floating
in the waters off Sentosa on Saturday morning, is believed to have
been killed in an apartment in The Caribbean - an up-market
condominium at Keppel Bay Drive.
However, many of the other details surrounding the killing of Mr
Wong Teck Siong, 28, are still shrouded in secrecy. The ex-dancer,
also known as Mr Huang Dexiong, is said to have been murdered
between April 1 and 16 this year in a fifth-floor unit at the
condominium.
These were the details that surfaced when Teo Boon Leng, 44, was
charged with his murder of the younger man in a district court on
Monday. District Judge Lim Tse Haw granted the prosecution's
request for Teo to be remanded for a week at the Central Police
Division and also allowed officers to take the businessman out to
assist in the investigations.
In the dock, Teo, who was manacled hand and foot, looked on
without expression during the five-minute hearing.
The stout, 1.7m-tall man with a broad craggy face, was dressed
in a black Polo T-shirt and dark blue dungarees and slippers.
Before he was led away by police officers, he smiled briefly at the
two women in the public gallery. They declined comment when
approached by reporters after the hearing.
