STOCKHOLM: The eldest son of the Malaysian couple in Sweden, on trial for allegedly abusing their children, says he was beaten "over 1,000" times within a year.

In a video recorded by the Swedish police last December, and shown to the court on Wednesday, Ammar said his mother Shalwati Nurshal often beat him when he talked back, stomped his feet, or watched YouTube videos instead of joining the family for dinner.
