Came across yahoo.com, and found this news which really shocks me a lot!

Man caned & jailed for stabbing & trying to saw off wife’s head

SINGAPORE: A former investment analyst, who stabbed his wife multiple times last September, has been sentenced to four years’ jail and eight strokes of the cane

Russell Tan Rui Leen, 39, had pleaded guilty in June to hurting his wife Madam Goh Hwee Suan.
In court on Friday, Deputy Public Prosecutor Cheryl Kam described Tan’s attack on Madam
Goh as savage and brutal. She said Tan had tried to saw off Madam Goh’s head at one point.
In fact, Ms Kam pointed out that Tan had shown no signs of stopping his attack on Madam Goh despite pleadings from his two young children.

As a result, Madam Goh, who is still reeling from the incident, has some 80 scars and was hospitalised for three weeks. Madam Goh revealed this in a written statement read by Ms Kam.

In the statement, Madam Goh also mentioned how her two children have been deeply affected by the incident.

In mitigation, Tan’s lawyer Lee Yih Gia pointed out that the couple has had a deep and long history of marital discord.

Mr Lee argued that Tan had at the time of the offence lost control after a heated dispute that spiralled out of control.

Mr Lee stressed that even the doctor who assessed the couple’s mental health pointed out that Madam Goh was one who knew "with accurate precision" "how to bring out the worse in the accused".

While it was tragic and unfortunate that counselling didn’t help salvage their marriage, Mr Lee highlighted that Tan did try.

It didn’t help that Tan, who was diagnosed with a stress disorder, had to deal with issues related to his son.

Describing the incident as completely out of character, Mr Lee stressed that Tan was not a threat to society.

But these arguments clearly cut no ice with District Judge May Mesenas who pointed out that domestic violence is a serious issue and the sentence should act as a deterrence.

With his head bowed low, Tan listened intently as the judge delivered the sentence while in the public gallery, Tan’s mother who was surrounded by a few supporters, could be seen crying silently.

Family members of Madam Goh were also present in court. It is understood that Madam Goh herself was in court briefly but she did not appear in the courtroom
