SINGAPORE, May 20 — A Singapore man was reportedly sentenced to 14 years’ jail today after admitting to abusing his baby nephew over three months. , the 32-year-old man, who cannot be named due to a gag order, had pleaded guilty in April to eight counts of ill-treating a child. District Judge Koo Zhi Xuan reportedly described the abuse as exceptionally cruel and sadistic, noting that doctors said it had likely contributed to the boy’s developmental delays.
The court heard that the man targeted the baby, who was less than a year old, because of his anger towards his brother-in-law — the child’s father. He also reportedly recorded some of the abuse on his phone and would watch the videos whenever he was angry with his brother-in-law. Prosecutors said the abuse included hitting, slapping, pinching and forcefully shaking the baby when the man was left alone with him.
On one occasion, the man placed the infant in a pail of water during a shower and pushed his head into the water for about six seconds. In another incident, he took the boy to a void deck, placed him on a metal table, slapped him several times and briefly lifted him by one leg. The court also heard that the man recorded some of the abuse on his phone and would watch the videos when angry with his brother-in-law.
The abuse came to light on September 16, 2024, after a woman saw him mistreating the child at a void deck, recorded the incident and lodged a police report.
