One of Dr Chang's killers to walk free

A man jailed for murdering renowned heart surgeon Victor Chang will soon walk free
after having served his minimum sentence of 18 years.

Dr Chang, 54, was shot dead on a footpath at Mosman in Sydney's northern suburbs on
July 4, 1991, in a failed extortion attempt by Chew Seng (Ah Sung) Liew and Choon
Tee (Phillip) Lim.
Liew and Lim were found guilty of murder and were jailed for a maximum of 26 years
and 24 years respectively.
A NSW Corrective Services spokesman said the State Parole Authority ruled Lim could
be released from Parramatta Jail on November 11, when he will have served his
minimum sentence of 18 years.
"It looks like he'll be deported straight back to Malaysia," the spokesman told AAP.
Former chief inspector Dennis O'Toole, who helped solve Dr Chang's murder, said he
was in a state of shock.
"I feel very sorry for the Chang family because they can't get on with their lives,
they're going to have it for the rest of their lives," Mr O'Toole told Network
Seven.
"It somehow just doesn't seem right."
