The mother and her daughter were pronounced dead at the foot of their block in 2023.
SINGAPORE - A woman who was worried about her one-year-old daughter’s development, dropped her from a high floor of their block of flats on Nov 5, 2023.Delivering his findings on Sept 24 on the double tragedy, State Coroner Adam Nakhoda said the pair had suffered multiple injuries and were pronounced dead at the scene.As the woman had a surviving son, State Coroner Nakhoda had earlier imposed a gag order on the identities of the mother and daughter, their family members and their address.
The state coroner then urged those who have such thoughts to seek help through channels such as the SOS Hotline., police investigation officer Clarice Koh told the court that the woman lived in a Housing Board flat with her husband and their two children. On the way there, the husband texted his wife, but she did not reply. He did not find this unusual, as she usually would not reply if she was caring for their daughter.At about 12.35pm, a resident who was hanging clothes on her balcony saw something fall, one after another, and heard thuds.The husband returned home at about 1.30pm and saw a police cordon at the foot of their block.
IO Koh said the husband had earlier noticed that his wife had temper outbursts after giving birth to their son in 2019. The outbursts subsided after two years.
