Sydney - One of two men jailed in the killing of renowned Australian heart surgeon Victor Chang after a bungled 1991 extortion attempt is to be deported to Malaysia, court officers said Monday. Phillip Choon Tee Lim, 50, had served the minimum 18 years of his 24-year jail sentence, and the New South Wales Parole Authority had decided to release the Malaysian national in November until a state government challenge and public anger delayed the decision.
The Supreme Court now has agreed to release Lim for deportation.
China-born Chang, 54, who was shot dead on a Sydney street, performed 260 heart transplants and was head of heart surgery at Sydney's St Vincent's Hospital.
The other man convicted of his murder was Australian national Liew Chew Seng.
