A significant development has emerged in the murder investigation of Audrey Fang, a Singaporean woman whose tragic death has garnered international attention. A judge in Spain has ordered that the DNA of a suspect, Mitchell Ong, be compared with two DNA samples found on Fang's clothing. This decision was reported by a local news outlet on April 9, 2024.

Audrey Fang's lifeless body was discovered in April 2024, bearing over 30 stab wounds, which has raised serious concerns over the brutality of the crime. Mitchell Ong, a Singaporean national, was apprehended shortly after Fang's body was found, placing him at the center of a complex investigation into her murder.

Last month, it was revealed that the DNA of two unidentified men had been detected on Fang's underwear, adding layers of complexity to the case. According to the Spanish news outlet La Verdad, the judge's recent order mandates a forensic comparison of Ong's genetic profile against those DNA samples, which could potentially provide crucial evidence in the investigation.

Initial forensic reports indicated that no traces of semen were found in any of the samples taken from the scene, which may complicate the prosecution's case. Furthermore, the DNA evidence collected was described as being in “low quantity,” meaning it might not be sufficient for conclusive results, further emphasizing the need for thorough examination.

Ong's defense lawyer, María Jesús Ruiz de Castañeda, who has recently taken on the case, has asserted that her client acknowledges taking Fang to a remote area in Abanilla. However, he firmly denies any involvement in her death, posing a significant challenge for the prosecution as they attempt to establish a motive and link Ong directly to the crime.

In addition to the DNA comparison, Ruiz de Castañeda has requested a new analysis of the telephone service providers operating in the vicinity of where the murder occurred. This request aims to uncover any potential evidence that could shed light on the timeline of events leading to Fang's death.

However, the legal representative for Fang’s family, Mr. Manuel Martinez, has opposed this request, arguing that the pursuit of new investigations is unwarranted. The judge has sided with Martinez, labeling the request for a new study on telephone service providers as “repetitive.” The judge emphasized that an earlier analysis had already been conducted at the outset of the investigation and noted that the time frame and individuals referenced by the defense lacked any substantial supporting evidence.

As the case unfolds, Ong has yet to issue a public statement since his arrest, leaving many questions unanswered about the circumstances surrounding Fang's tragic death. The legal proceedings are expected to continue as both the prosecution and defense prepare to navigate through the complexities of this high-profile murder case.
