Singapore Couple Sentenced to Over 15 Years for Abusing Infant Son Leading to DeathPreviousNext

A Singapore couple, Neo Jia Ming and Chloe Gan Ci Xuan, were sentenced to over 15 years in prison for abusing their eight-month-old son, Trevor Neo Yu Hin, leading to his death in September 2024. The High Court found that Gan smothered and physically harmed the baby while Neo failed to intervene. The couple had pleaded guilty to multiple charges related to child abuse and neglect. Court proceedings revealed text messages where they made light of the abuse despite its severity.
