On Monday (20 Jul) evening, the Singapore Police received a report claiming that a 4-year-old girl had gone missing.
The girl has since been established to be dead, and the police announced 3 suspects linked to the death.
On Saturday (25 Jul), a man and woman were reportedly charged with the murder of the young child. The 4-year-old victim was identified as her daughter.
A third female individual was also charged with disposing the 4-year-old’s body.
According to The Straits Times (ST), the both were accused of killing a 4-year-old girl at Suites @ Guillemard in February.
The deceased, Megan Khung Yu Wai, was apparently the biological daughter of the woman charged with murder — 24-year-old Mdm Foo Li Ping.
Another woman, 30-year-old Ms Nojuvelle Chua Ruoshi, was charged with disposing the deceased’s body in order to cover up the incident, reports ST.
The 4-year-old’s body was allegedly transported to Paya Ubi Industrial Park where it was incinerated in a metal barrel.
ST did not disclose how the man, 33-year-old Mr Wong Shi Xiang, was related to the 2 women and the deceased.
The trio will be held at the Central Police Division and will return to court next Thursday (30 Jul).
Both the man and woman will be charged with murder, and potentially face the death penalty if found guilty.
The third woman charged with disposing of the body faces up to 7 years in jail.
Murdering one’s own child is a disturbing act all of us will surely struggle to fathom.
We hope the police will conduct a thorough investigation of the case and uncover the truth behind what happened.
