The Canny Ong murder case in Malaysia.
Ahmad Najib Aris, a former aircraft cabin cleaner, was hanged at dawn on Friday the 23rd of September 2016 for the rape and murder of Canny Ong Lay Kian in 2003. The execution was carried out at Kajang Prison. His body was returned to his family and later laid buried at the Sungai Kantan Muslim cemetery in Kajang.
The Shah Alam High Court had sentenced 40 year old Najib to death on the 23rd of February 2005 for raping and murdering 28 year old Canny Ong, at Batu 7, Old Klang Road, Petaling Jaya between 1am and 5am on June 14, 2003. He was also sentenced to the maximum of 20 years in prison and 10 strokes of the cane for raping her.
The trial got huge publicity and gripped the nation with horrific details of abduction, rape, murder and the dumping of Canny's body into a manhole before it was set on fire. A DNA test had been conducted confirming Ahmad Najib's semen in Ong's vagina which proved that he had intercourse with the victim. In March 2009, the Federal Court upheld his death sentence.
Canny was an IT-analyst living in the United States with her husband Brandon. She was in Malaysia to visit her ailing father. On the13th of June 2003, a day before she was due to return to the US, she went out for dinner with family and friends and at the up-market Bangsar Shopping Complex in Bangsar, Kuala Lumpur. After the meal, she went to the basement car park to fetch her parking ticket from her car. She asked her mother, Pearly Visvanathan Ong, and sister to wait for her by the autopay machine. Canny was kidnapped in the underground car park at 10.45pm. This was recorded on CCTV cameras, which showed her car being driven out at speed and crashed through the barrier. Canny’s mother reported her missing about 20 minutes later at the Brickfields police station.
Two policemen patrolling on motorcycles stopped Canny’s car, a Proton Tiara, with Najib and Canny in it near Kelana Jaya. She was still alive at that time. An officer took their identity cards and while he was checking them Najib tried to drive off. One front tire was shot out. However Najib managed to get away. In the early hours of the following morning he raped Canny. He then stabbed her twice and pushed her body into a roadside drain.
He escaped in a taxi and returned the next day and doused the body in petrol and set fire to it. The remains were discovered by a construction site manager. Canny’s car was found abandoned.
A van driver was able to give the court crucial evidence that helped to convict Najib, having seen him at the construction site in the car with a topless woman lying on the back seat. Investigators found Canny’s DNA found on jeans belonging to Najib and his semen was found on her body.
One interesting question remains. Why did Canny not escape from the car when she had at least two chances to do so? Sadly we will never know the answer. She may have just been petrified and unable to escape.

THE brutal murder of 28-year-old Canny Ong in 2003 remains embedded in the minds of many Malaysians. The tragedy shook the nation not just because of the gruesome and senseless nature of the crime committed – Ong was abducted, raped, stabbed and torched – but also because it happened in a popular and upscale neighbourhood-mall that was fitted with security cameras.
Unfortunately, Ong never returned with the ticket. After waiting for 20 minutes, Ong’s mother Pearly Visvanathan Ong and her sister decided to go to the car park to look for her. When they went down they found the car, a purple Proton Tiara, missing. Sensing something bad had happened to her daughter, Pearly ran to the mall’s security office to view the CCTV tapes. The tapes confirmed their worst fears: they saw Canny being abducted by an unidentified male who drove off with her in her car, crashing past the exit barrier of the carpark.
Days later, Ong’s charred remains were found in a manhole along Old Klang Road in Kuala Lumpur. Forensic and criminal investigators found evidence that led to the arrest of a 27-year-old aircraft cabin cleaner, Ahmad Najib Aris.
