Drunk man in Singapore pleads guilty to punching wife for refusing sex
- The 61-year-old also tried to sexually assault his mother, warning her that he would kill her if she revealed the incident to anyone
- His wife was hospitalised for seven days as his assault broke her nose, blurred her vision in the right eye and fractured her middle finger
Ignoring her pleas to stop, the man then punched his mother in the face, and then continued his attempted assault. He stopped only after he became tired while his mother struggled to escape his grip.
On another occasion, while also drunk, the man hit his wife after she declined to have sex with him. He had punched her so hard that she fell back and hit a cupboard, fracturing her nose and finger.
In the High Court on Tuesday, the man, 61, pleaded guilty to attempted aggravated sexual assault with penetration, voluntarily causing grievous hurt and using criminal force against a police officer.
Another nine charges will be taken into consideration during sentencing, some of which are related to a separate incident in 2021, in which the man hurled vulgarities at a police officer while being drunk in a public place.
Among the charges taken into consideration is an outrage of modesty charge for touching his mother inappropriately during his attempted sexual assault.
