Really Cruel and Barbaric! Tortured to Death by His Biological Parent, a 5-year-old Boy Eventually Died

News24xx.com - A very cruel couple in Singapore were tried in the High Court on November 12 for the mistreatment of their own child. Tragically, after being tortured for years, their child finally died, even though their child was only five years old.

According to Today Online, Azlin Arjunah and Ridzuan Mega Abdul Rahman, physically tortured their son for a span of four months in 2016 until he died of injuries and died at the Women and Children Hospital.

The boy, who could not be named, was initially given to the care of Azlin's friend, Zufarina Abdul Hamid, in 2011 when he was a month old. This was because Azlin could not take care of him because she and her husband were unemployed at the time.

Zufarina cared for him like he was her own son and sometimes she took him to see his parents. When he was four years old in 2015, he started living with his parents again. A year later around July 2016 the boy began to suffer physical and psychological abuse in various ways.

July 2016: Ridzuan is accused of cruelly using a pair of pliers on two separate days to pinch his son's buttocks and thighs several times, causing bruising.

August 2016: Azlin allegedly hit the boy with a broom on his body, back and legs, after he denied crashing into a biscuit can and scattering biscuits on the kitchen floor. Truly pathetic, the act of violence left a mark on his stomach and caused his son's kneecap to limp and misalignment. He also allegedly pushed the boy and caused him to fall until his son's head crashed into the edge of the pillar.

Late August to early September 2016: Ridzuan is said to have heated a metal spoon on the stove and burned the boy's palm, after Azlin told him to "handle" the boy.

October 2016: Not quite up there, Ridzuan is said to have burned the boy's palm again with a heated metal spoon. He also allegedly flicked the cigarette ash from a lit cigarette on the boy's arm when he refused to answer his question.

October 15-17, 2016: A vicious action took place again, Azlin allegedly grabbed the boy's ankle to prevent him from escaping, filling the glass with hot water from a dispenser, pouring it into his right leg three times up to five times. The boy's skin began to peel and blisters formed on his chest, shoulders and legs.

October 17-19, 2016: Azlin and Ridzuan then allegedly threw several glasses of hot water at him. Ridzuan is said to have burned the boy's palm again with a heated spoon, after learning that he had stolen milk powder to eat.

October 19-20 2016: Azlin is said to have threatened to sprinkle the boy with hot water when he refused to answer their questions, but did not do so because he was standing near an Internet cable. He then allegedly pushed him forcefully, so that his son's head hit the wall and bled. Ridzuan then allegedly punched the boy's face.

October 21-22, 2016: The couple was accused of confining the boy in a cat cage, which was 70cm tall, 58cm wide, and 90cm long, while the child's height was 105cm.

Oct 22 2016: Ridzuan allegedly hit the boy with a broom on his head, hands and feet to make him take off his shorts for bathing. When the boy was in the toilet, Ridzuan then allegedly threw cups of hot water at him, while Azlin shouted for the boy to take off his shorts. The boy fell to the floor and stopped moving after Ridzuan poured more water on his back.

According to scientific analysis by the Health Sciences Authority, the temperature of the water will be between 86.5 ° C and 98.7 ° C, causing direct burns on the child's body.

The boy was seriously injured after being cruelly doused in hot water, his parents did not give him medical attention until he passed out.

After six hours the couple took him to the hospital because they were afraid of being arrested for child abuse.

Doctors found second-to-third-degree burns are covered two-thirds of his body, while there were injuries to his head and face, broken nose bones and severe bruises on his limbs and back. In the morning, the boy failed to respond to treatment and finally the sadistic persecution that filled his days ended forever. The child was dead.

A pathologist states the cause of death as a severe burn injury, which is deep enough as a natural cause of death.

On the day his son died, Ridzuan was arrested, while Azlin was arrested two days later.
