SINGAPORE - A man who was of unsound mind when he attacked his father with a pair of scissors was acquitted of the offence and kept in safe custody at the Institute of Mental Health (IMH).

District Judge Ng Peng Hong said on Tuesday that IMH, rather than prison, was a more appropriate place to confine Mr Lee Jun Hong.

The 26-year-old is said to have used a pair of scissors to stab his father, Mr Lee Kok Keong, 56, in the back, causing a 4cm-long stab wound, on Sept 24 last year.

Deputy Public Prosecutor Kelly Ho said the victim and Mr Lee were alone at their home in Jalan Bukit Merah that evening watching a television show about a man who had killed someone and was pretending to be suffering from a psychiatric illness.
