Constance Chee Cheong Hin
On 7 October 2004, four-year-old Sindee Neo (梁欣蒂 Liáng Xīndí) was abducted from her flat at Telok Blangah by 36-year-old Constance Chee Cheong Hin (徐嫦欣 Xú Chángxīn), who formerly had an affair with Neo’s father. Neo subsequently fell off her block and sustained head injuries, which resulted in her death five days later. Chee, who was allegedly responsible for Neo's fatal fall, was charged with murder, an offence which warranted the death penalty within Singapore's jurisdiction. In January 2006, after a highly reported trial in 2005, Chee, who was diagnosed with schizophrenia, was found guilty of a reduced charge of manslaughter and another charge of kidnapping, and despite the prosecution's request for the maximum sentence of life imprisonment for the first charge, Justice V. K. Rajah of the High Court sentenced Chee to a total of 13 years in prison on 7 April 2006. Background Sindee Neo, born in 2000, was the first child and daughter of Neo Eng Tong and Ki ...

People Convicted Of Culpable Homicide
A person ( : people) is a being that has certain capacities or attributes such as reason, morality, consciousness or self-consciousness, and being a part of a culturally established form of social relations such as kinship, ownership of property, or legal responsibility. The defining features of personhood and, consequently, what makes a person count as a person, differ widely among cultures and contexts. In addition to the question of personhood, of what makes a being count as a person to begin with, there are further questions about personal identity and self: both about what makes any particular person that particular person instead of another, and about what makes a person at one time the same person as they were or will be at another time despite any intervening changes. The plural form "people" is often used to refer to an entire nation or ethnic group (as in "a people"), and this was the original meaning of the word; it subsequently acquired its use as a plural form of ...

Kidnapping In Singapore
In criminal law, kidnapping is the unlawful confinement of a person against their will, often including transportation/asportation. The asportation and abduction element is typically but not necessarily conducted by means of force or fear: the perpetrator may use a weapon to force the victim into a vehicle, but it is still kidnapping if the victim is enticed to enter the vehicle willingly (e.g. in the belief that it is a taxicab). Kidnapping may be done to demand for ransom in exchange for releasing the victim, or for other illegal purposes. Kidnapping can be accompanied by bodily injury which elevates the crime to aggravated kidnapping. Kidnapping of a child is known as child abduction, which is a separate legal category. Motivations Kidnapping of children is usually done by one parent or others. The kidnapping of adults is often for ransom or to force someone to withdraw money from an Automated teller machine, ATM, but may also be for sexual assault. Children have also been ...
