She now faces two charges: First, for abetting Mr Wee's suicide at the car park on May 16, 2020, and second, for obstructing the course of justice.
She is accused of turning the valve of a tank of nitrogen gas, then abetting Mr Wee to take his own life using the gas.
......
She is also accused of obstructing the course of justice on the afternoon of May 16, 2020, in three ways: By requesting a Lawrence Cheo Oon Hui to drive a van away from the car park when it contained the tank of nitrogen gas; by disposing of a bag used in the suicide; and by falsely informing a police officer that Mr Wee had told Cher he had chest discomfort for two weeks and that Cher believed Mr Wee died of a heart attack.
......
The penalty for abetting suicide is a jail term of up to 10 years and a fine. For obstructing the course of justice, an offender can be jailed up to seven years, fined, or both.
Had Cher been convicted of culpable homicide not amounting to murder, she could have faced either life imprisonment, or 20 years' jail and a fine. She cannot be caned as she is a woman.
