Background

The murder allegedly happened at Marine Terrace.

Teo was a 19-year-old Lasalle College of the Arts student who disappeared in June 2007.

Danial had allegedly murdered Teo with his friend Ragil Putra Setia Bin Sukmarahjana, who is now 32-years-old.

Both Danial and Ragil are the last people to have seen Teo on June 30, 2007 at Ragil's Marine Terrace flat.

Police investigations revealed that Teo had died before her missing person report was lodged on July 3, 2007.

Ragil is still at large, and believed to be out of Singapore, according to the police.

If convicted of murder, one can face the death penalty.

In addition, if the act of murder was carried out by multiple people, each of them are liable to be charged as if they had carried out the act alone.
