Tan Qiu Yan was sentenced to 18 years’ jail after she pleaded guilty to a reduced charge of culpable homicide not amounting to murder. A 31-year-old woman, suffering from persecutory delusions, killed her adoptive father at their Sengkang flat after a dispute over ownership. Tan was adopted as a baby and faced homelessness fears after her adoptive mother's death. The court found her suffering from a delusional disorder, reducing her mental responsibility. Despite the brutal attack, the judge did not impose a life sentence due to factors like grief and adherence to treatment.
