SINGAPORE — A woman who was arrested after stabbing herself outside St Hilda’s Secondary School in September last year was sentenced to six months' jail in a district court on Wednesday (Jan 18).

Juliana Abdul Kadir pleaded guilty to two charges related to the possession of offensive weapons in a public place.The sentence was backdated to account for the time that Juliana spent in remand between Sept 19 and sometime around Oct 12 when she was released on bail.

When the police approached Juliana and warned her to put the knife down, DPP Wu said she ignored their instructions and “continued to wave the knife around”.Although she was bleeding profusely, Juliana “remained visibly agitated” and threatened to continue to hurt herself if the police did not back off.

Investigations later revealed that Juliana had purchased the knife about three days before the incident, with the intention to replace a blunt knife at home.As for the penknife blade, DPP Wu said Juliana claimed that it was used for cutting straws for drug consumption. That said, Juliana is “no longer psychotic” and was not of unsound mind at the time of the incident, said DPP Wu.
