SINGAPORE: Two more people have been charged with causing grievous hurt to a 19-year-old girl who died, a week after the victim’s brother was linked to her death.
Chee Mei Wan, a 41-year-old Singapore permanent resident, and 62-year-old Lim Peng Tiong were charged on Wednesday (May 12) with voluntarily causing grievous hurt to Ms Huang Baoying by hitting her with a wooden pole.
Court documents did not specify the relationship between Chee, Lim and Ms Huang.
Ms Huang’s brother, 29-year-old Huang Bocan, had his charge amended. He is now accused of sharing a common intention with Chee and Lim to cause grievous hurt to his sister by hitting her with the pole.
