george Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 Australian accused of pushing Thai wife out of window in Singapore SINGAPORE: -- An Australian man was charged in a Singapore court with attempted murder in pushing his Thai wife out of a fourth-floor window, news reports said on Wednesday. Jason John Porteous, 35, was accused of shoving Pimchanok out of the bedroom window of their condominium, The Straits Times said. Porteous, a Singapore resident doing administrative work, was sent for psychiatric assessment. He is scheduled to appear in court again on June 3. If convicted, Porteous faces life imprisonment, caning and a fine. His wife, in her early 30s, has been in an intensive care unit since the incident on Sunday. Neighbours told the newspaper they saw her lying on the ground Beside a drain, bleeding and unable to speak. The woman, her husband and sister had moved to the city-state two to three months ago. -- DPA 2008-05-21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilHarries Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 <deleted> me, that was too close to home. A woman I know, close personal friend, who is going through a separation/divorce to an Aussie told me Sunday she was going to Singapore this week to try and sort something out. I'll stop shaking in a few minutes. Anyway, here's wishing the woman makes a full recovery and the guy gets the punishment due according to Singapore law.

If it weren't in Singapore, but in Thailand, and if it wasn't the wife, but the farang husband who was pushed, how would the police/courts call it then - attempted suicide?

We all know that if the shoe were on the other foot then the outcome may be different,we also know that the internet is a completely open forum.This means that ANYBODY can access it,that includes friends of people who have been flung from a fourth floor window,and know what happened.I know Pim and Jason,I also know the cousin (who I shall not name) and the reason behind the incident and Pims state of health so I would really appreciate it if people weren't to quick to jump to conclusions.

That way we would not need to jump to conclusions. regards Freddie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
