Singapore. A mother woke her 11-year-old daughter up in order for them to commit suicide together. In her drowsy state, the young girl obediently climbed onto a chair placed at the open window of the living room.
She only started struggling when her mother lifted her to throw her out of their 12-floor flat in Bukit Panjang. The Primary Five student also screamed: ‘I don’t want to die. I don’t want to jump.’
The commotion brought a tenant of the flat, out of his room. The 27-year-old technician then pulled both mother and daughter down from the chair and called the police.
The mother was arrested. On Friday, the 42-year-old Indonesian national, who is a permanent resident here, pleaded guilty to endangering the safety and emotional well-being of the child.
She was fined $2,000.
Assistant Public Prosecutor Ashraf Hassan told the district court that psychiatrists have determined that the woman was suffering from schizophrenia and was having hallucinations when committing the offence at about 10 p.m. on Aug. 24. She is presently undergoing treatment, added the prosecutor.
The mother is now back with the family and was seen leaving the courtroom with her husband and daughter.
The court ordered that no information that could lead to the identity of the child be published.
