Deputy Public Prosecutor Kwang Jia Min said the teen had a history of hitting his mother.
Concerned for his well-being, his parents had him referred to a Family Service Centre for counselling.

He was going through a guidance programme at that time, and missing a counselling session meant the programme would be extended.She felt a lot of pain in the ribcage area after the assault and had a cut on a lip which was bleeding. A medical report later revealed that she had sustained a left rib fracture.A few weeks later, the two of them were in his bedroom discussing which school he should enrol in after his graduation when he flew into a rage.
