"The defence urged the court to sentence Tan to not more than 12 years’ jail and Pua to not more than 10 years’ jail and 12 strokes of the cane. The couple will be sentenced on Friday morning" As quoted by the article "The couple are “very remorseful", the lawyers said, pointing out the couple had divulged the most intimate details of their offending to the authorities. Without their cooperation, “the charges would have been very difficult to prove", they noted." To such abusers who can commit such horrendous crimes, is their remorse true or a means to escape harsher punishments? Is a tough life and several miscarriage an excuse to end someone else's life in such a cruel way?
