The woman who allegedly scalded her five-year-old son to death had allegedly been abused as a child and also by her husband, the court heard yesterday.

Azlin Arujunah, and her husband, Ridzuan Mega Abdul Rahman, both 27, are on trial for allegedly scalding their son to death.

He died in October 2016 after collapsing from having hot water poured on him by Ridzuan.

Yesterday, investigating officer Mahathir Mohamad, an Assistant Superintendent at the special investigation section of the Criminal Investigation Department, read out the statements he had taken from Azlin.

In a statement taken on Nov 8, 2016, Azlin had said: “Like I said, there was no one to guide me. My whole life is filled with violence.

“I myself was a victim of hot water splashing by my parents. My husband also assaulted me so I kept it all inside me.

“When (the victim) was stubborn, I let it all out on (him).”

LOST HER OTHER KIDS

Azlin also said she regretted what she had done to the victim and asked to be given a chance to make amends, as she had “lost (her) other children” due to the incident.
