Last year, a 64-year-old man in Singapore was dissatisfied with his son’s unauthorized opening of his letters. Angrily, he slashed at the other party six times, one of which was deep enough to show the bone. As a result, his son underwent three operations and was forced to take 119 days of leave. At the time of the incident, the old man’s wife called for help loudly, and she was also injured during the process of trying to persuade the fight. The conflict did not subside until the police received a report from a neighbor. In this regard, the father who was suspected of wounding pleaded guilty a few days ago and was sentenced to 14 months in prison.

“Sin Chew Daily” reported that the family conflict occurred at 1:35 pm on January 8 last year in a flat at Block 546, Serangoon North Avenue 3. The 64-year-old defendant Yang Zhichi (transliteration) just woke up at 1:00 p.m. that day, and told his wife that his son opened his letters without permission in the morning, but told his wife not to mention the matter to him.

However, the 26-year-old son found out that his father scolded his mother for opening the letter, and questioned his father angrily. The father and son quarreled, and the two quarreled more and more fiercely. During the process, the son pushed the defendant and grabbed him from behind; After breaking free, the old man ran into the kitchen and took a 19-centimeter kitchen knife, and slashed at his son in multiple places, causing multiple stab wounds on the victim’s left arm, left wrist, chest, two thighs and right shoulder.

According to the injury examination report, the 9-centimeter stab wound on the victim’s left arm was as deep as the bone, and the other 5 stab wounds were all about 4 cm to 6 cm long. The hospital operated on the injured arm on the same day to repair cut muscles and nerves. Prosecutors said that although the victim left no permanent defects, the left hand could not be used normally for about a year, and recommended that the judge impose a sentence of 16 to 18 months in prison. The father who was suspected of wounding pleaded guilty recently and was sentenced to 14 months in prison.
