The Shocking Story of a Mother’s Outrage After a Night of Drinking
In the middle of the night, a 40‑year‑old mother, who’s beyond the reach of the law’s naming rules, got so upset over her 15‑year‑old daughter’s “frequent outings” that she turned a kitchen knife into a weapon of violence.
What Went Down
When the girl was getting ready for bed on June 20, the mother erupted into a scolding tirade. The situation escalated when the mother, fueled by alcohol, demanded that her 21‑year‑old sister decide whether the teen should be “killed.” With no choice but to stay calm, the older sister feigned composure.
Then, the mother slipped into the kitchen, grabbed a knife, and returned to the daughter’s room at about 1:37 am.
The Attack Begins
- She stabbed the girl’s right thigh, drawing a nasty bleed.
- The girl fumbled for a shirt to bandage herself and managed to hold onto a piece of clothing to stop the blood.
- The mother, unsatisfied, told the victim to clean up the mess before heading back to the kitchen.
Things Take a Dark Turn
- When the mother saw the floor still ragged with blood, she cursed and demanded the daughter come back.
- Fearing for her safety, the girl fled to her sister’s room.
- Back in the living room, the mother’s wrath intensified: she struck the injured girl repeatedly with a metal ladle, bending it every time it hit.
- She continued to play the “weapon” game, later smashing a floorball stick and using an electric fan—until it snapped in two pieces.
Police Are Called
Someone in the house heard the commotion and notified the police. officers burst in at 1:50 am, where the mother was surprisingly calm, putting the girl in the bathroom, and lying that there was nothing wrong—just a loud family argument. The older sister, sensing everything was fine, complied with the officers’ questions.
After the cops left, the mother kept on attacking, stabbing, and hitting the teen with every kitchen item she could find.
Aftermath and Legal Consequences
At the KK Women’s & Children’s Hospital (KKH), the daughter was treated for lacerations on her arm and thigh. She has since been under her aunt’s care.
On Monday (Nov 28), during the trial, the mother pleaded guilty to “voluntarily causing hurt” with a weapon. She faces an upcoming sentencing on Jan 4, 2023.
Under Singapore law, the penalty for voluntary weapon‑assault can run up to seven years in jail and may include a fine. Because she is a woman, the court must consider that she can’t receive caning.
Takeaway
In this tragic case, a mother who burst with anger spilled over into violence that left her daughter badly injured. Alcohol may have lowered her inhibitions, but it’s the underlying frustration that got the better of her—a grim reminder that domestic anger can lead to farbeyond a simple heated argument.
