Aaron Teoh Eng Wan and En Sit Mooi

MALAYSIA: COUPLE GET DEATH FOR KILLING EIGHT-YEAR-OLD SON

May 22, 2021:

A married couple was sent to the gallows on 21 May 2021 by the High Court of Shah Alam after they were found guilty of murdering their eight-year-old son at a massage centre where they worked, four years ago.
Judge Datuk Noorin Badaruddin handed down the sentence on Aaron Teoh Eng Wan, 37, and his wife, En Sit Mooi, 40, after finding that the prosecution had succeeded in proving the case beyond a reasonable doubt.
"There was overwhelming evidence that the couple had committed murder and the prosecution has brought forward a case that is beyond a reasonable doubt," said Noorin.
The couple looked stunned upon hearing the sentence before they broke down into tears in the dock.
Eng Wan and En were charged with murdering Adrian Teoh Wai Kit, the eldest of their two children, at premises in Regalia Business Centre, Subang Jaya between 2 pm and 3.30 pm on 26 May 2017.
The charge was framed under Section 302 of the Penal Code read together with Section 34 of the same code, which provides for the mandatory death penalty if found guilty.
Noorin said the results from the pathology laboratory confirmed that old injuries, where there were traces of rib fractures, and new injuries which caused the victim's death, were already sufficient.
The couple were first charged at the Petaling Jaya Magistrate's Court on 5 June 2017.
