SINGAPORE - In what prosecutors described as"one of the worst cases of child abuse", a couple who repeatedly splashed hot water on their five-year-son until the boy died from his scald injuries were sentenced to jail on Monday by the High Court.
In sentencing, Justice Valerie Thean said the cage incident was"extremely cruel", given the exposed wiring of the cage - which measured 91cm long, 58cm wide and 70cm tall - and its relative size to the 1.05m-tall boy. Even after the boy was taken to hospital, the pair lied that the injuries were self-inflicted, said the DPP.
