SINGAPORE - A woman who was raped by her brother when she was a child hurt her own son because the then seven-year-old boy resembled her attacker.
Between January and July 15, 2019, she injected the boy with insulin on at least 13 occasions.
The woman had learnt that a high dosage of the substance could cause a person s blood sugar to crash, possibly leading to death.
The boy s blood sugar level did fall and he suffered headaches. But he survived the attacks.
On Wednesday (May 5), the 29-year-old mother was sentenced to five years jail after she pleaded guilty to causing hurt to the boy by using a poison.

SINGAPORE - Love, says Rachel Lim, shaking her head, is not violence. Love and violence cannot co-exist.
It is advice she wants to dispense to every woman who is in a violent or abusive relationship. Get out. No one should live with violence, says the 29-year-old content strategist.
Her conviction is borne out of experience - she was involved with a brutal man who almost killed her.
In August 2017, when she refused the demands of her former boyfriend - a doctor - for sex, he became so enraged that he smashed her face with his fists, breaking her nose, leaving multiple fractures and causing her brain to bleed.
