SINGAPORE: Cheng Guoyuan, who was sentenced to 19 years’ jail and eight strokes of the cane in June for viciously slashing his wife outside a row of restaurants in Beach Road, has been spared caning.
In a brief hearing on Nov 5, the prosecution told the High Court that Cheng, who had pleaded guilty in May to a charge of attempted murder, was medically certified on Sept 9 to be permanently unfit for caning.
