A man and a woman accused of killing her four-year-old daughter and later burning the corpse in a metal barrel will be remanded for another week for investigations.

Another woman, also implicated in the disposal of Megan Khung Yu Wai’s corpse at Paya Ubi Industrial Park, will also be remanded for one more week to assist investigations, after her defence lawyer failed in his bid to quash the prosecution’s application for her to be further remanded.

Apart from his two charges in relation to Megan, Wong faces other charges involving drugs, and possessing two samurai swords and voluntarily causing hurt to another man. At the mention of Chua’s case, Thangavelu objected to a further remand and sought to have his client’s case separated from Foo and Wong.

He argued against Chua being remanded further unless the prosecution could satisfy the reasons for it. However he noted that the more applications the prosecution made for the accused persons to be remanded, the higher the threshold it would have to satisfy to show the court why remand was required and bail could not be offered.
