S'pore man jailed for life for torturing teen sister to death: Parents said he was kind, took care of her
He was smart and did volunteer work overseas, the parents shared with reporters.
Singaporean Huang Bocan was sentenced to life in prison for the cruel and inhumane torture and murder of his 19-year-old sister, Baoying, in 2021. According to prosecutors, Bocan, along with two accomplices, confined Baoying to a toilet, starved her, and beat her until her death on May 5, 2021. The siblings were close, with their friend noting that Bocan often took Baoying out and bought her drinks.
However, in a period from February to May 2021, the torture and abuse escalated. Bocan's father revealed that his son was kind and took care of his sister, even giving her money before the Covid-19 pandemic. Bocan had also received a scholarship to study at Nanyang Technological University. After being sentenced, his parents were allowed to speak with him and expressed regret for his actions.
They shared that Bocan told them to take care of themselves as they were getting older. The family friend also mentioned that the siblings spent a significant amount of money on nutritional health products from Chee Mei Wan, Bocan's girlfriend at the time. The parents were unaware of the siblings' whereabouts after their move to Lim Peng Tiong's home, and they did not respond to their parents' attempts to communicate.
