SINGAPORE – A woman accused of killing her two-year-old daughter, whose remains were found in a metal pot five years after the alleged crime, has been temporarily released for murder.
The 32-year-old was granted an exoneration on Tuesday (March 2) that does not amount to an acquittal on her murder charge.
A discharge that does not amount to an acquittal means that you can still be prosecuted for the crime later, depending on the evidence that emerges.
The woman still faces 12 additional charges, including multiple charges of abuse involving four other children. His case is expected to be heard again on April 13.
She and her 33-year-old husband were charged in September 2019 with killing their daughter in a flat on Chin Swee Road in March 2014. The boy’s remains were found in the pot in 2019.
They cannot be named due to a gag order to protect the children’s identities.
The Attorney General’s Office (AGC) said in a statement last month that the other four children are the woman’s.
As for the father, the AGC had said it would proceed with the murder charge against him.
He faces 13 other charges, including child abuse, perverting the course of justice by disposing of and hiding the body of the dead girl, providing false information to a public servant about her whereabouts and drug use.
When the girl died, the woman and her husband allegedly burned her body before hiding the remains inside a metal pot. This was kept in a sealed box and kept under the kitchen stove on the floor, according to court documents.
The woman is accused of mistreating the girl and two of her other children between 2013 and 2014.
Among other things, he allegedly beat them with a belt and a hanger. It is said that as punishment he fed his two-year-old daughter and another girl with chili padi and garlic.
The woman is also accused of mistreating the girl in March 2014 by failing to provide the child with adequate medical care, despite the fact that there was a medical emergency. Details of the emergency were not disclosed in court documents.
He allegedly mistreated his four surviving children by leaving them inside the apartment without adult supervision, as well as with adequate food and water, from February 8 to 9, 2018.
He is also said to have lied to a Ministry of Education liaison official in 2017 before giving false information to two officials from the Ministry of Social and Family Development the following year.
