Although Chan was married, he allegedly continued to maintain a physical relationship with the victim. Meanwhile, the victim came to know that she was pregnant and insisted Chan marry her.

A tracker dog was brought in to assist the investigators. The canine went for around a kilometre tracking the route taken by the killer and later lost scent. Three special teams were formed to nab him.
