SINGAPORE: A woman who helped dispose of four-year-old Megan Khung’s body and was part of the conspiracy to abuse her pleaded guilty on Monday (Oct 26).
Megan had been abused by her mother, Foo Li Ping, and her mother’s boyfriend, Wong Shi Xiang, for over a year before she died as a result of a punch to her stomach.
After Megan’s death, Foo and Wong disposed of her body with the help of their friend, Nouvelle Chua Ruoshi.
Chua pleaded guilty on Monday to charges that included conspiracy to commit child abuse, disposal of a corpse and drug consumption.
Throughout the abuse, she had not protected Megan, taken her to see a doctor for her visible wounds or reported the case to the authorities.
As part of court proceedings, video clips of the abuse, some filmed by Chua, were played in court. The judge told those in the courtroom that the clips were distressing, asking those who wished to leave to do so.
BACKGROUND
Megan was born to Foo and Foo’s then husband, Khung Wei Nan or Simonboy as he is known online, in October 2015.
Foo and Khung’s marriage broke down, and Foo took Megan back to live with Foo’s mother.
Foo began dating Wong in late 2018 and moved to live with him from January 2019, with Megan staying over on some weekends.
Sometime in 2019, Chua came to know Foo, and they became close friends, with Chua staying over at Foo’s flat with her daughter.
Megan was abused by Foo and Wong when she stayed at the flat from February 2019.
She was caned when she urinated on furniture, leaving bruises, slapped, pushed and punched, forced to wear a soiled diaper over her head and made to eat food from a dustbin.
