"Couple ‘tortured’ intellectually disabled waitress, who died after 8 months of abuse

SINGAPORE: The day before she died in her sleep, 26-year-old Annie Ee Yu Lian tried to kill herself by slitting her wrists with a pair of scissors.

She had “reached the limits of her endurance” after eight months of horrific abuse at the hands of her longtime friend Tan Hui Zhen, 33, and Tan’s husband Pua Hak Chuan, 38, the High Court heard on Monday (Nov 27).

“All Annie wanted from Tan and Pua was acceptance and affection,” Deputy Public Prosecutors April Phang and Claire Poh said. “Yet she died alone and in excruciating pain.”

Annie, who was intellectually disabled, was found dead in her bed on Apr 13, 2015.

An autopsy detailed the extent of the abuse she suffered: 12 fractured ribs and seven fractured vertebrae, a ruptured stomach and a body crowded with blisters and bruises.

Annie had been “pulverised", the prosecutors said. She had been “tortured,” “stripped of her money, her dignity and her will to live,” they told the court."

A reduced charge n not murder? The hubby has no mental issue. Let him not get away lightly. The wife has mental issues, serious enough to hv reduced responsibility for such a terrible persistent inhumane torturing leading to the death of the victim? If so, so be it n gives her sentences that fit "reduced mental capacity at time of crime".

Reading this news report sent chills down my spine n couldn't bring myself to believe that a human being can inflict such harms n hurt on another fellow human being!

Sicked n very disturbing!!

RIP to the victim. May these 2 killers be given the maximum punishments!!
