1. Sentence: Singapore parents jailed 16 years and 15 years 3 months over fatal abuse of 8-month-old son

   Singapore couple Neo Jia Ming, 27, and Chloe Gan Ci Xuan, 23, were sentenced in the High Court on Oct 21 over the death of their eldest son Trevor Neo, who died at about eight months after prolonged abuse; in his last seven months he was shaken, smothered and slapped to stop crying. Straits Times reported the father received 16 years' jail and the mother 15 years and 3 months. On Oct 12 each pleaded guilty to three abuse-related charges, and the father also admitted domestic-violence charges for repeatedly assaulting his wife. Justice Hoo Sheau Peng noted the couple had family support and a domestic helper, and that their text messages treated the abuse lightly.
