[SHARE] The Full Story Behind The Murder Of 15-Year-Old Ng Yuk Tim

The 23-year-old friend of cosplay fan Ng Yuk Tim has been charged with her murder at a magistrate’s court here.

Also in the court were Yuk Tim’s family members, including her mother Sim Yee Ling, who looked emotional during the proceedings.

As the deceased's family looked on from the public gallery, Poon Wai Hong, barefooted and clad in white T-shirt and dark coloured shorts, merely nodded his head to indicate he understood the charge of killing Ng Yuk Tim.

Magistrate K.B. Elena Hong Tze Lan fixed Dec 6 for mention. DPP Saphirra Selamat prosecuted.

The accused was represented by Datuk Suraj Singh while Datuk R.S. Sodhi held a watching brief for the victim’s family.

Following the publicity from the death of her eldest daughter, Sim Yee Ling is determined to protect her remaining daughter from the painful memories.

The jewellery salesperson said that Ng Ee Sin, 10, had been very sad and lost her appetite earlier.

“They were always quarrelling but now it feels too quiet,” she told reporters at the wake of her 15-year-old daughter Yuk Tim.

Yuk Tim's 10-year-old sister and her aunt Serene Sim, 31, were the only representatives of the family in the ceremony.

Sim said that she had not expected all the attention that was suddenly heaped on her since the beginning of her ordeal.

“I am not a celebrity. I do not need all this attention,” she said.

The man suspected of being the alleged killer of 15-year-old Ng Yuk Tim after a Cosplay date gone wrong was unable to offer an answer today for what is probably the one question on the minds of the girl’s bereaved mother and the public.

Reporters had asked him “why did you do this?” to which the man could only offer a reply that is not likely to comfort the family of Ng.
Asked if he regretted his actions, he offered: “It’s too late for me to regret.”

Her face was a picture of sorrow and disbelief as she watched the 23-year-old who sat handcuffed in the back of a police car outside their home on Tuesday night.
Her eyes were tearing but all she could do was look; she had been barred from speaking to him.

Yesterday, the 80-year-old woman said the suspect’s mother had deser­ted the family when he was young.

She said the suspect and his older sister had been living with her since their father died about a year ago.

“I don’t believe he could do such a thing. He kept to himself but he is a nice person”. “The police brought him to the house at 11pm and he showed the policemen around until about 2am.

“I asked him, ‘Are you hungry? How are you?’ But he didn’t say anything to me, he just cried,” she said.

Some cosplayers, who know the suspect personally, could not believe that he was involved in a murder. “He is a nice guy and he has many supporters. Even his closest friends will not believe he did it,” said a cosplayer who knows him personally.

“We will never forgive him for taking away our family’s happiness,” Ng Yuk Tim’s grandfather, William Sim, 59, said.

"HE is not human but an animal; a devil. If I were given the chance, if the police were to allow me, I would take an iron bar and smack his head like what he did to Yuk Tim."

"When we told him (the suspect) about the CCTV, and asked him to come over, he dared to come and acted innocent.

His wife, Yap Pik Wan, 59, said it was inappropriate for the suspect’s grandmother to say “he is a good guy and it is unlikely that he committed the crime.”

“The statement is ridiculous. If he did not kill her, are they saying she committed suicide, locked herself in a suitcase and threw herself in Kota Kemuning?” Pik Wan, who was in tears, asked.

"My granddaughter was a very nice person, who had a good heart and a bright future. How could the murderer do this to her, to us?
"He wanted to rape my granddaughter, and killed her when she fought back. I am 70. I have nothing to lose if I am sent to the gallows."

The body of Ng Yuk Tim was claimed by her family at the Universiti Malaya Medical Centre at 11.30am today.

Yuk Tim was the elder of two children and had just completed her PMR exams.

Murdered teenager Ng Yuk Tim was a caring person who was always advising her mother and family members to be careful and to drive safely.

“I always felt that her caring reminders were annoying at the time,” said the girl’s mother in a heartfelt posting on her Facebook page yesterday.

“When I go out, she is at home and reminds me to ‘be careful, be careful!’. When I send her to school, when she gets out of the car, she always says ‘drive carefully!’

“When her grandma goes out, she says ‘Grandma, be careful!’.”

Sim said she was crushed when she read some of the comments posted about her daughter online.

“The things that people have been saying online about my daughter are horrible. Some are saying she deser­ved it because she went to see a guy on her own.

“My daughter had always been a good girl,” said Sim.

She said her daughter usually kept to her group of close friends from school, adding she did not know that her daughter was going to meet the suspect alone.

“I’ve heard about him from my daughter, but yesterday (Tuesday) was my first time seeing him in person,” she said.

The heartbroken mother ended her post saying “My little sweetheart, I didn’t get a chance to say goodbye”.

Malaysian Association of Social Workers (MASW) president Teoh Ai Hua said parents should keep a lookout on who their children are mingling with, especially those mixing with people who are far older than they are.

"If your kid's friends are schoolmates or neighbours of about the same age, that's less worrying. But do be more alert if they are older," said Teoh.

“The victim notified family members of her whereabouts, and went out during the day. This all seems normal for an urban teenager’s day to day activity. This is simply unfortunate.”

However, the social worker warns that young girls should avoid going to private places alone with the opposite sex.

"Set the meet up location at a public place instead of their homes. When you are both out of the public eye, it makes the situation even more dangerous."

Meanwhile, Teoh feels the suspect’s mental condition should be considered, as he could still be calm and composed in front of the victim’s family.

The 23-year-old wrote the post at 1am, after the mother lodged a police report about her missing daughter.

“Everyone please help find her. Her mother is looking for her. She came over to my house to help me make Cosplay helmets. As I had to leave for work, I sent her to the LRT station. If anyone has any info, please contact her mother. Everyone please try to search for her. She is wearing the same clothes seen in this photo,” read his first post.
