SINGAPORE – While out on a personal bond after assaulting his wife, an elderly man harassed his daughter and splashed hot water at two police officers who responded to his daughterâs call for help.
The 74-year-old man was sentenced to two years, two months and two weeksâ jail on May 28. He cannot be named to protect the identities of his wife and their two daughters.
He had pleaded guilty to one count each of voluntarily causing hurt to a policeman and assaulting his wife. The offender also pleaded guilty to breaching a personal protection order (PPO) against him.
Six other charges were considered during his sentencing.
Under the PPO, he was not supposed to use violence against his 60-year-old wife and their two daughters.
Without revealing details, Deputy Public Prosecutor Tan Jun Ya said that the wife was granted the PPO in 2003.
In January 2024, the man hit his wife on the face, causing injuries including a facial fracture, when she tried to intervene during a tiff between him and one of their daughters.
He was in a rage because the daughter, identified in court documents as A2, had asked him where some items including a saw were kept.
