Father admits to killing twin sons, 11, in Bukit Timah
https://www.straitstimes.com/singap...angling-twins-in-bukit-timah-and-killing-themSINGAPORE - The man accused of killing his twins in 2022 pleaded guilty on Tuesday to culpable homicide not amounting to murder and admitted that he had strangled the boys and submerged their faces in the canal to ensure they were really dead.
Xavier Yap Jung Houn, 49, believed that killing his 11-year-old sons, who were diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder, would take away his wife’s burdens.
He also feared that no one would take care of the boys - Aston Yap Kai Shern and Ethan Yap E Chern - after he and his wife died, and was worried that they would be bullied by others.
