SINGAPORE: The Court of Appeal has sentenced a woman who scalded her five-year-old son to death to life imprisonment.

In a written judgment issued on Tuesday (Oct 18), the court also ruled that her husband, who had already been sentenced to life imprisonment earlier, would face no caning.
 

Azlin Arujunah and her husband Ridzuan Mega Abdul Rahman, both 30 years old, had caused the death of their son by causing cumulative scald injuries on him by splashing or pouring hot water on him over a week in October 2016.

The boy suffered other abuse including being hit with a hanger, pinched with pliers and confined in a cage meant for the family cat. He limped in pain and had blisters and peeling skin from the repeated scalding.

Eventually, he fell forward while attacked with hot water in the toilet on Oct 22, 2016, and stopped moving. He was taken to hospital only after more than six hours as his parents were afraid of getting arrested.

The couple had claimed trial to charges of murder initially. They were acquitted of murder at first and given lesser charges of voluntarily causing grievous hurt by heated means. Their initial sentences were 27 years' jail each, with caning for Ridzuan and an additional 12 months' jail in lieu of caning for Azlin. 

The prosecution appealed and the Court of Appeal allowed the appeal, convicting Azlin of murder.
