SINGAPORE — A man earlier accused of slapping a two-month-old baby is now charged with failing to protect the baby from a woman he lived with.

The gag order on the man's identity and the baby, Zabelle Peh Yu Xuan, was lifted by a court on Monday , after the baby died of her injuries.Peh Wei Jian, 29, now faces two charges in total. The first is under the Children and Young Persons Act for slapping Zabelle's face at Block 363C, Sembawang Crescent at about 1.30am on Jan 5 this year.

Although there was a significant risk of grievous hurt being caused to Zabelle due to the"nature and intensity" of Sim's prior physical abuse of the baby, Peh allegedly failed to take steps to protect the baby.
