An Indonesian maid who is a suspect in the double murder of an elderly couple in their Bedok flat on Wednesday is believed to have fled to an Indonesian island that afternoon.

Mr Chia Ngim Fong, 79, and his wife Chin Sek Fah, 78, were found in their five-room executive flat at Block 717, Bedok Reservoir Road, and pronounced dead at 3.57pm.

The maid, who had been with them for about a month, is believed to be from their son's agency.
