Liew Jun Xian, 24-years-old, used his own father’s walking stick to hit him repeatedly, inflicting multiple injuries on the old man.
His father suffered injuries, including a stab wound on his left middle finger and cuts on his shoulder.
Liew pleaded guilty on 13 August to a separate charge of failing to turn up at a rehabilitation centre, the Lloyd Leas Community Supervision Centre, in last March.
He is also facing 2 other charges, including the one for assaulting his father, will be taken into consideration during sentencing.
Chain of events
Liew was ordered to undergo reformative training on 20 July 2016, for an undisclosed earlier conviction.
He was released on 19 February last year and placed on a scheme where he had to comply with certain rules, such as following a curfew and reporting to his supervision officer.
He was also required to live with his father and wear an electronic monitoring tag.
However, Liew repeatedly violated his curfew and broke the rules.
He was then issued a notice on 24 March 2020, asking him to report to the Lloyd Leas Community Supervision Centre the following day.
Liew failed to show up and ignored his supervision officer’s calls, moving out of his father’s flat and seeking shelter with his friends.
He also cut off his electronic monitoring tag to avoid detection.
On 31 August last year, he turned himself in at Bedok North Neighbourhood Police Centre.
However, 4 months later, he assaulted his own father with a walking stick; although details as to why he attacked him were not disclosed.
He will be sentenced on 1 September.
