On 26 February 2004, at Sijangkang in Kuala Langat, Selangor, Malaysia, 18-year-old See Sheau Fang (徐晓芳 Xú Xiǎofāng) was last seen boarding the car of a male acquaintance by her sister. See's family reported her missing and the police investigated her disappearance. They traced the car registration numbers to a man named Kher Tian Hock (or Kher Thien Hock; 寇天福 Kòu Tiānfú), who knew the victim, the police questioned him but he denied knowing See's whereabouts. However, when the police questioned Kher's younger brother Kher Then Heng (寇天兴 Kòu Tiānxīng), he informed them that he witnessed his brother killing See and burying her body in front of his friend's house. Upon receiving this information, the police went to the friend's house, where they found See's corpse beneath a concrete floor.[1][2]
The Kher brothers were subsequently arrested and charged with murder, and Kher Tian Hock confessed that he requested to have sex with See, who rejected his advances and he therefore raped and strangled See. However, before he could stand trial, Kher escaped from the police lockup in March 2004, while Then Heng was left pending trial for murder.[3][4] Then Heng was later acquitted due to insufficient evidence to convict him, and Kher Tian Hock himself remained on the run for more than seven years before he was arrested by the police in October 2011 for a vehicle theft case, and charged for See's killing.[5] In May 2015, about 11 years after raping and murdering See, Kher was convicted of the murder and sentenced to death.[6]
Between 2016 and 2024, Kher appealed to the higher courts against his death sentence and murder conviction. However, none of his appeals succeeded, and Kher is on death row awaiting his execution.[7]
