SINGAPORE, Aug 26 — When Andre Chen Si’En heard from his wife that she had allegedly been raped by his friend, he became incensed and hatched a plan with a third individual, Gervan Wong Jun Heng, to seek revenge.

Wong was sentenced to seven years and about seven months’ imprisonment, along with six strokes of the cane. Incensed with what he thought were half-hearted replies from the man, Chen began to use the knuckleduster to hit the back of Douglas Wong’s head, tearing a chunk of flesh from it. The assault stopped only when the attackers became exhausted. When the victim begged them for water, Gervan Wong retrieved a bottle from the rented car and sprayed its contents onto the victim’s face.

DPP Huo noted that the attack on Douglas Wong was needlessly prolonged and even though he never retaliated throughout the assault, the two assailants continued to viciously attack him even after he had fallen to the ground. He also described the attack as short but intense, and that if Chen had wanted, he could have done much worse to the victim since they were in a secluded place.In reply, DPP Huo said that to characterise the act of spraying water on the victim’s face as an attempt to help him wash his wounds would be a stretch, when it was clearly meant to humiliate the individual.
