Woman jailed for injecting insulin into her son for 'peaceful' death in plan to kill entire family over her childhood rape

SINGAPORE: A woman who was raped and molested by her older brother when she was a young girl developed traumatic symptoms that were triggered when she saw her brother lead a"normal life" by getting married and having a child.

The court heard that the woman stayed with her parents and her three brothers when she was born. When she was nine to 12, one of her brothers molested and raped her.He was sentenced to a boys' home, but the woman"hated him" because of what he had done to her. Her relationship with her mother deteriorated as she felt her mother had taken her brother's side.

She intended to kill him by injecting insulin into him, as she did not want him to die in pain. At the same time, the boy reminded her of her brother and she began hating him. He was hospitalised three times with low blood sugar levels and a hypoglycemic seizure on one occasion. Medical staff puzzled over the cause of his symptoms, and he had to be rescued with intravenous drips.

She was found to be a pathological liar, with her behaviour towards her son showing her need for attention. One report found her case to be a “classic presentation of ... Munchausen syndrome by proxy”, where she created symptoms of illness in her son for attention. She also displayed strong antisocial personality traits, although they did not amount to a disorder.

While in remand, she has lost her temper at other inmates and thrown tantrums that drew disciplinary actions against her. He added that the charge she faces is amalgamated and she could be jailed for up to 20 years, double the punishment as it is amalgamated and includes multiple instances of offending.
