SINGAPORE — A 25-year-old woman and a 33-year-old man will be charged on Saturday (25 July) for murder with common intention over the death of a 4-year-old girl, who was the woman’s daughter, the police said on the same day.

The duo will face a separate count of disposal of corpse to prevent detection of an offence with common intention. A 30-year-old woman will also be charged with this offence.

On Sunday, the police received a report of the girl who had gone missing. The police later established that the girl was dead and identified the three suspects.

A person who is convicted of murder with common intention may face the death penalty. On the charge of the disposal of corpse to prevent detection of an offence, a convicted person may face a jail term of up to seven years.
