Orchard Towers double murders

The Orchard Towers double murders was the case of two deaths occurring at Balmoral Park, Singapore, before the victims' bodies were discovered at a carpark in Orchard Towers, thus the title of the case. The victims were 46-year-old Kho Nai Guan (Xǚ Naĭyuán 许乃元) and Kho's 29-year-old Chinese girlfriend Lan Ya Ming (Lán Yǎmíng 兰雅明), and they were both murdered by Kho's British employer Michael McCrea. McCrea was assisted by his girlfriend Audrey Ong Pei Ling (Wáng Peìlíng 王佩玲) in disposing of the bodies before they both fled Singapore to Australia, where they were caught.

The outcome of the case was Ong and McCrea being extradited back to Singapore in 2002 and 2005 respectively, where they were charged with offences ranging from causing disappearance of evidence to culpable homicide not amounting to murder, and sentenced to lengthy jail terms of 12 and 24 years respectively for their roles in the murders. The Orchard Towers double murder case was known to be one of the most infamous murder cases that occurred in Singapore. Provided by Wikipedia
