SINGAPORE - To escape from her boyfriend who had choked and trapped her in his room, a pregnant woman climbed out of a window and fell from the second floor of an HDB block in Woodlands.
She had multiple fractures, including at her rib and pelvic bone, and was bruised all over. Court documents did not mention what happened to her unborn baby.
Alerted by someone who witnessed the incident, the police went to the scene and arrested the boyfriend, Indonesian Hans Pratignyo.
