the youngest of three children and only daughter of the family, was survived by her parents and two older brothers. Suspect's arrest After they started the police investigations, the police determined that Lim was thrown off from one of the ten-storey flats nearby. The owner of the unit was identified as 27-year-old Hensley Anthony Neville, a Singaporean of Eurasian descent (a source claimed Neville was Malaysian-born). However, despite the police's summoning of Neville to cooperate with investigations, Neville was never found, and it was believed that Neville had left the country. Hence, the police placed Neville on the wanted list as a suspect of Lim's murder, and his photo was released publicly on newspapers to call for information from the members of the public regarding his whereabouts. In February 1987, after some investigations, the Royal Malaysia Police, having received the Singaporean police's appeal, finally located the prime suspect Hensley Anthony Neville, whom they found hiding in the Malaysian state of Selangor and later, 30-year-old Neville was arrested by the Malaysian police at a bus stop at Klang. Neville was later extradited from Kuala Lumpur to Singapore by flight on 18 March 1987, and he was charged with murder for the death of Lim Hwee Huang, two years and four months after she died. The Singapore Police Force also thanked the Malaysian authorities for helping to track down and arrest Neville, who was one of the twelve suspects extradited to Singapore with the Malaysian police's assistance between January and June 1987; among the list of suspects extradited also included Tan Cheow Bock, a Singaporean labourer later sentenced to death in September 1990 for the 1980 high-profile killing of a babysitter Chia Chun Fong. It was later investigated and uncovered by the Malaysian authorities that Neville was also the prime suspect behind an unsolved double murder, in which he allegedly killed two people before burying them in cement on 5 April 1986 at a garden in Batu, Selangor. However, the Malaysian police did not make any formal charges against Neville for these two murders and went ahead with extraditing him to Singapore for the charge of killing Lim upon the request of the Singaporean authorities. Murder trial Preliminary hearing and dismissal of lawyer The case of Hensley Anthony Neville underwent several pre-trial conferences starting from August 1987 before the preliminary hearing concluded in November 1987 that Neville should stand trial for murder
