He was sentenced to 34½ years’ jail and 12 strokes of the cane in April.
for abusing his two children, resulting in the death of his five-year-old daughter, will have to serve six more months’ jail in lieu of caning.
The man’s lawyer, Mr Mervyn Cheong, argued that no more jail time was needed, and sought to distinguish the current case from past cases where an additional imprisonment term was imposed. The offender cannot be named owing to a gag order to protect the identity of his son, who survived the abuse. From February to October 2016, the couple confined the children in a “naughty corner”, which was barricaded with a bookshelf and a wardrobe to keep them there.The man also installed a closed-circuit television camera to monitor the children.
He then took his son and Ayeesha’s body in a pram to Singapore General Hospital, where he lied to the staff that the girl became unresponsive that morning.
