S'porean couple, aged 23 & 27, regularly suffocated & hit their 8-month-old baby, who died after mum smothered him
The couple would shake the baby until he lost consciousness to quieten him down.
In October 2026, a Singaporean couple, Chloe Gan Ci Xuan, 23, and Neo Jia Ming, 27, pleaded guilty to causing the death of their eight-month-old baby, Trevor Neo. The couple admitted to repeatedly smothering or shaking the infant to stop him from crying, leading to his death on September 2, 2024. The abuse began when the parents started shaking the baby to silence his cries, resulting in him losing consciousness and requiring hospitalization once.
The couple also inflicted physical harm by hitting Trevor's body, leaving bruises, and attempted to suffocate him using blankets and their hands. Despite warnings from Gan's mother and other relatives, the abuse continued, culminating in the infant's death on the fateful day.
