  "account": "Nouvelle Chua Ruoshi, a 36-year-old woman, was sentenced to 13 years in prison for her role in the fatal abuse and disposal of four-year-old Megan Khung. Chua filmed the abuse, helped dispose of Megan's body, and was also found guilty of consuming drugs during the crimes. Her co-conspirators, Foo Li Ping and Wong Shi Xiang, received sentences of 19 years and 30 years, respectively. Chua had pleaded guilty to all charges but received no discount due to her delayed guilty plea. The judge noted that Chua was not less culpable than her co-accusers in terms of aiding the disposal of Megan's body, as she helped achieve the final objective despite not being the orchestrator.",
