The victim and the man were reportedly business partners, and TODAY reported that the man had left on 10 November for Malaysia, according to the police.
27-year-old Rachael Ang was then reported missing on the same day.
The man was detained in Johor on 15 November for his suspected involvement in Ang’s death, after the Singapore Police Force sought help from the Malaysian police.
He was then extradited back to Singapore yesterday (16 November) and is set to be charged with murder tomorrow (18 November).

Her body was later found by the police on 13 November at a shop along Beach Road, and she was then pronounced dead at the scene.
