“Singaporean man burns girlfriend, threatens her with knife over infidelity suspicions,” revealed court documents. The accused, suspecting his girlfriend of infidelity, resorted to extreme measures by holding a parang knife to her cheek and threatened to expose intimate videos. This terrifying ordeal didn’t end there as he proceeded to burn her knees twice with a cigarette.
The 36-year-old accused faced multiple charges, including causing hurt and other drug-related offenses. Court documents disclosed that the accused lived at his girlfriend’s residence during their relationship. On June 19, 2024, he cruelly burned her left knee twice with a cigarette as suspicions of unfaithfulness plagued his mind. A week later, on June 24, he menacingly pressed the sharp blade of a parang knife against her left cheek, demanding that she confess to her alleged transgressions. The physical intimidation escalated with him applying pressure and inflicting a small cut on her left cheek.
In addition to the physical abuse, the accused also used psychological manipulation tactics by threatening to expose a video depicting his girlfriend engaged in a sexual act to her family, intending to shame and humiliate her further. Furthermore, investigations revealed that the accused had consumed methamphetamine the following month in July 2024.
