SINGAPORE — One-and-a-half years after he was charged with the murder of 19-year-old Felicia Teo Wei Ling who had gone missing in 2007, prosecutors on Monday (June 27) withdrew the capital charge aga

with the murder of 19-year-old Felicia Teo Wei Ling who had gone missing in 2007, prosecutors on Monday withdrew the capital charge against Ahmad Danial Mohamed Rafa’ee.This means that the 37-year-old, who last worked as a creative manager at gaming firm Razer, can still be prosecuted for the alleged offence in the future should new evidence emerge, for instance. The charge will be revived if that happens.

One count of omitting to give information about Teo's death on June 30, 2007 when he was legally bound to report a sudden or unnatural death to the police Mr Ragil remains at large and is believed to be overseas. His LinkedIn profile last listed him as being based in Jakarta, Indonesia. The police only began trying to trace him when Ahmad was arrested in December 2020 and"new facts came to light" during investigations, said the DPPs who also argued that Ahmad has not been prejudiced and there was"no excessive delay" in the case.

The lawyer also said Ahmad's family has been"devastated" and his wife had to move out of their flat"because people were bothering them". "Will this murder charge hang over my client indefinitely? They are not just asking for a pound of flesh. They want you to lay your head on a wooden board and wait for the guillotine to fall," the lawyer told the court in his arguments for a full acquittal.

"I fully get the grief which has been undertaken by your client during this period of remand... it appears remand hasn't fully been for a futile reason. The six charges the prosecution is now presenting is evidence of that," the judge added. Those convicted of misappropriating a deceased person's property can be jailed for up to three years and fined.

TODAY reported in July 2007 that she had gone to the Marine Terrace flat after a party at the Lasalle College of the Arts, where she was studying for a diploma in fine art.
