SINGAPORE - A man punched his elderly mother, who fell and fractured her thigh bone, after she refused to loan him $120.
The 69-year-old woman told her son that she could not afford to loan him any more money and encouraged him to look for a job. A medical report dated Feb 27said that her right thigh bone had fractured after she fell when her son punched her. He responded by tormenting her from Sept 20 to Nov 13 last year, including by repeatedly calling her almost daily from public phones.
He left after telling the man he would"skin him alive" and returned to the void deck at around 4am armed with a kitchen knife.
