Thursday, 14 Nov 2019 08:08 AM MYTSINGAPORE, Nov 14 — Yellowish, whitish, wet and raw, with parts peeling off. That was how large parts of the scalded skin of the five-year-old boy who was allegedly murdered by his parents looked like, said the pathologist who conducted his autopsy, Dr Chan Shijia.
On top of charges of committing murder with common intention during this period, Azlin and Ridzuan also face multiple charges of ill-treating and assaulting the child in their home, including confining him in their cat’s metal cage, which was presented in court on Wednesday as well.The boy's last moments
When a large part of the skin — the protective layer of the body — is missing, the body is no longer shielded from infections, Dr Chan added. Dr Chan testified that for adults, it is generally accepted that 40 per cent burns would have made it fatal or life threatening. For children, the threshold is likely to be lower as the skin of children under the age of six is “way thinner” than adults, she added.The boy had other injuries, including substantial bleeding under his scalp measuring 18cm by 10cm. That’s “almost the entire head,” Dr Chan said.
