SINGAPORE – After taking drugs, a man slapped his two-year-old daughter so hard that she died. He and his wife then burned the body in a metal pot to destroy the evidence.
He also pleaded guilty to three other charges – for ill-treating his six-year-old stepson, rioting and consumption of methamphetamine.High Court judge Aedit Abdullah described the man’s acts of slapping the defenceless toddler as callous, vicious and heinous.“It is important to my mind that we all remember her by her name,” he said, noting that Umaisyah was robbed of any opportunity of growing up, developing her own identity and leading a fulfilling life.
When she was about three to four months old in November 2011, she was placed in foster care as the man was detained in a drug rehabilitation centre, while his wife was assessed to be unable to take care of the girl. When the girl cried, the woman slapped her on the cheek. The man, who had taken methamphetamine that morning, slapped the girl on the face two to three times.
After placing the pot in a box and sealing it, they took the box back to the flat. The woman cautioned her younger brother against touching the box under the stove. The woman lied that Umaisyah had been taken away by the man, while the man lied that his parents had been taking care of her for the previous three years but he was unaware of her whereabouts.
Forensic pathologist Paul Chui had to carefully separate blocks of charcoal from the body and recover small bones and a loose tooth from the soot and debris before he could conduct the autopsy.
