Thai woman allegedly charged for murder in Singapore



SINGAPORE: -- A Thai woman has been arrested and allegedly charged with murder on Tuesday in Singapore.

According to Straitstimes, Sukanya Praphuttha, 41, who appeared shaken, is alleged to have caused the death of Mr Lee Yang Boo, 55, at a flat in North Bridge Road on Sunday.

The charge was read to her by a Thai interpreter.

According to a statement, police were informed that a man had a fall at the flat at 4.39am. The man was conveyed to Tan Tock Seng Hospital where he was pronounced dead about an hour later.

The prosecution applied for Sukanya to be remanded at Changi Women’s Prison for psychiatric assessment. The case will be mentioned again on March 24.

Thai Embassy in Singapore said it was informed of the case by police but visit us not yet permitted as she is still under psychiatric assessment.

Once the case is completed, visit will be permitted as well as appointment of a lawyer.

So, if they fall to their death in Singapore it isn't suicide?

[Patje]

good for her it's only allegedly ......

[phrodan]

A quite obvious bruise - her face looks a bit marked too.

Who knows what happened - wouldn't be the first time a hooker took a kicking from a John. Lets see what the Singapore police have to say.

[samran]

So we don't know if she has been charged then? It's only alleged! I suppose she can fly back to Thailand while they figure out if she is under arrest or not.

Apparently you didn't read the whole article. She's being held in prison, pending a psych evaluation. She's not going anywhere.

[soalbundy]

she was exporting Thainess, without a balcony as well, must be a first.

[car720]

What I would like to know is, if the Thai embassy is not allowed to see her until after the psych exam, then who the hell is doing the translation?

And any shrink who thinks he is capable of assessing a Thai female needs evaluating him/herself.

not without a balcony, the roller bearings on the end of his walking stick was a bit suspicious.

The Straits Times suggests a fall in the flat rather than a fall from the balcony but it is not altogether clear.

[cup-O-coffee]

I'll bet that, allegedly, a lot of things go on around the world every day... allegedly.

[thedude82]

someone forgot to tell her that when the police come in Singapore they cant be bargained with. Also they wont just take her word as truth and wont 555 and say it was a suicide.

Apparently you didn't understand the humour in Samran's post.

The headline says she's "allegedly charged with murder". That mean that the writer is not sure whether she has been charged or not.

The humour is in the incorrect word order of the headline. It should have read: "She has been charged with alleged murder."

Geddit?

Clearly you didn't read the headline. Allegedly of course.

[jomcondo]

Mr lee yang boo got a taste of thai culture.

[SOTIRIOS]

....and the 'common denominator' is.........

[PungShoeWrote]

Feed her pizza and hamburgers for 3 days and you'll have a full confession, Just for shits and giggles tell her there is a ghost that can be seen in the cell with her.

Apparently you don't understand ....the comment was made because of the poor translation into English. ..the Thai woman was charged with allegedly murdering someone ...she was NOT "allegedly charged "there is no doubt that she was charged..

.get it? ?

[somchaismith]

Falls being exported to Singapore.
