SINGAPORE — Unhappy that his four-year-old son was lying about defecating, a man forced the tip of a chilli into the boy's mouth to discipline him.SINGAPORE — Unhappy that his four-year-old son was lying about defecating, a man forced the tip of a chilli into the boy's mouth to discipline him.

Before the full case proceedings began, the defence lawyer appointed by the Public Defender's Office successfully asked for a gag order to cover the victim and the accused, citing the man's other children.On Aug 2, 2022, the family was home when the father noticed that the victim smelt of faeces. The man then sat on a chair over the boy and forced the tip of the chilli into his mouth, releasing it when he felt it move past the boy's teeth.The boy's mother performed the Heimlich manoeuvre on him, but the boy's condition did not improve.

"We have testimonials from his wife and family that he is a loving father to all his children," said the lawyer.He added that his client was also"not an abusive father" based on the family testimonials and the autopsy which showed no other signs of abuse other than the chilli lodged in the boy's airway.
