SINGAPORE: A court on Monday (Aug 3) grappled with a case of an 88-year-old man who killed his 74-year-old wife in an "overwhelmingly lethal" attack, leaving extensive injuries on her body.
The woman was found by her grandson with a gaping wound from her jaw to her chest, 34 injuries from a sharp object, and a fractured skull, neck, spine and ribs.
Her husband Ridawi Morsudin, now 90, was of unsound mind at the time of the offence in June 2024, due to his dementia and delirium.
He is still of unsound mind and is unfit to plead in a court of law, or to put in his defence.
