Who is Jennifer Pan's boyfriend Daniel Wong?

Daniel Wong was a high school friend of Pan's who had already dabbled in crime - he had a criminal record and had previously dealt drugs.

She began dating him in the 11th grade, despite her parents, Bich Ha and Huei Hann,who had arrived in Toronto as refugees from Vietnam, disapproving of their relationship.

Pan on the other hand, who was a first-generation Canadian, had excelled both as a student and as an ice skater in her formative years, according to school friends who previously spoke toToronto Life.

However, she later stopped dedicating herself to her studies when she was 'snubbed' for a valedictorian award for her eighth grade class.

Her grades began to slide to the point where she was averaging 70 per cent in all of her classes except music by the first year of high school - but she kept her parents in the dark.

Shedecided to forge her report cards to show straight As using old progress reports, scissors, glue and a copy machine.

Her grades were good enough to get her into Ryerson University on early admission, and she told her parents that she would spend two years there studying science before transferring to the more prestigious University of Toronto to study pharmacology like her father had always wanted.

However, in her last semester Pan failed calculus, which kept her from graduating and Ryerson withdrew their admission offer.

Instead of telling the truth, Pancontinued to go about as if nothing was wrong, keeping up this lie for two whole years and even getting the bus downtown to pretend to go to lectures.

What did Daniel Wong do?

When it was time for Pan to 'graduate' from University of Toronto, which she never attended, Wong helped her to find someone who would forge a straight-A college transcript.

Pan then told her parents that she had gotten a volunteer job working in the blood-testing lab at SickKids hospital.

However, her fatherHuei Hann grew suspicious after he noticed she had neither a uniform nor a key card to get into the building.

Hann decided to take matters into his own hands and one day insisted on dropping her off at work before having his wife tail Pan inside the hospital where she was nowhere to be found.

The next morning, he then called the friend that Pan was supposed to be living with and found out that she never stayed there.

Ultimately, the Pans confronted their daughter and she conceded that she had never attended the University of Toronto and had been staying at Wong's house.

The then 24-year-old shelled out $10,000 for assailants to enter the family home (pictured) and shoot her parents in the head - but miraculously her father survived

After her parents found out about her web of lies, Pan was banned from seeing her boyfriend and their relationship began to fall apart - Wong started seeing someone new.

Pan was left furious but, after briefly rekindling things with Wong, they schemed to have both her parents killed so the young couple could move in together and collect a $500,000 inheritance.

Wong introduced Pan to one of the hit men, Lenford Crawford, who agreed to do the hit for $10,000.

But the accomplice soon decided to return to his other girlfriend and asked Pan if she still wanted to go through with the hit, to which she replied: 'I want it for me.'

On November 8, 2010, Pan's mother had been watching TV and her father was sleeping in his room.

It was at this point that she is said to have texted the killers and signaled for them to come into the house.

Crawford and his associates David Mylvaganam and Eric Carty walked in through the unlocked front door - each bearing their own gun.

The intruders dragged Hann out of his room and down into the living room, while pretending to be staging a home invasion by tying Pan's hands to a bannister.

The group stole some money hidden around the home and then led the parents to the basem*nt where each was shot multiple times.

Her mother died of a point-blank gunshot wound. Her father was shot in the face - but miraculously survived.

The killers fled and Pan pulled out a cellphone from her waistband to call 911.

She sounded panicked and out of breath as she told the operator: 'Help me, please. I need help. I don't know where my parents are.'

What happened to Daniel Wong and where is he now?

When Hann woke up from a medically-induced three-day coma, he told investigators details of the home invasion that put the eye of suspicion on Pan.

He said that he saw his daughter talking to one of the men 'like a friend' and that her arms were not tied behind her back while she was being led around the house.

Investigators bought the then 24-year-old in for questioning and she quickly admitted to hiring the men to kill both her parents.

However, she claimed that her relationship with her dad mended and she called the murder-suicide plot off and had nothing to do with what happened.

Police did not believe her story and she was ultimately charged.

Pan, 28, was convicted of first-degree murder as well as attempted murder in December 2014.

Alongside Pan and the two thugs she hired to help carry out her plot, Daniel Wong was also found guilty.

In 2015, all four got life sentences on the murder conviction and life for attempted murder with the sentences to be served concurrently.

Daniel Wong is currently in prison but, like Pan, he will be eligible for parole after 25 years, in 2035.
