热水“浇死”五岁儿 医生:母亲或受心理疾病影响

法庭控方照片,左为用于关住五岁男童的猫笼,右为热水器。

一名母亲被指控朝五岁的儿子倒热水,最后导致儿子活活被烫伤而死亡,但是心理医生表示这可能是因为心理病所导致的。

法庭于昨日(11月27日)的听证会上指出,阿姿琳(Azlin Arujunah,27岁)与丈夫利兹万(Ridzuan Mega Abdul Rahman,27岁)因谋杀罪而接受审判,指他们有意朝儿子倒热水,导致后者昏倒后,于2016年10月在医院中过世。

误将肢体虐待当做惩罚

控方心理医生拉杰什(Jacob Rajesh)博士在法庭上指出,阿姿琳在年轻时就学会了这种惩罚方式。“从小就受到肢体虐待,绝对是一个心灵创伤。这些肢体虐待在他们长大后,就会用在自己的后代身上。”

他补充说,这可能是导致阿姿琳采取类似惩罚方式的其中一个因素。

当被询及为何阿姿琳在给予警方和心理医生,有关虐待行为的口供上有所出入时,拉杰什表示,被告将某些罪行归咎在其丈夫身上。

他指出,阿姿琳的口供导致她在案件中处于不利面,因为她希望夫妻中有一人获得轻判,能够更早出狱去照顾他们的孩子。

长期遭丈夫虐待求助无门

他随后指出,阿姿琳在婚姻中一直遭到利兹万的虐待,她甚至曾因此要求申请人身保护令。“她在怀孕时也遭到利兹万虐待,甚至扇巴掌。”

拉杰什表示,受虐待的伴侣通常较难分开了事,而阿姿琳是极易受到伤害的年轻人,几乎没有获得任何社会支持。

“在被虐待的生活中,她看不到尽头。没有别的选择,她能够到哪里去?”

他表示,阿姿琳是在其祖母于2016年3月逝世后,而虽然和其母亲的关系拉近了,但是其母亲也在同年6月离世,她就失去了任何形式的社会帮助。

丈夫外遇致精神病爆发

在和阿姿琳交流后,拉杰什指出利兹万曾经在2016年4月“失踪了”三个星期,留下阿姿琳在没有经济援助下,独自照顾孩子。而阿姿琳也在脸书上发现到,利兹万或许有了婚外情。

身为一名年轻的母亲,要单独照顾数名孩子,这些压力因素逐渐累积造成她的适应性障碍出现。适应性障碍是一种精神障碍,通常会发生在一个人在情感上无法应对某些外来压力的情况下。

当询及有关适应性障碍是否影响了阿姿琳理解自己行为的能力时,拉杰什表示,她知道自己在倒热水,但是低估了有关举动所带来的严重性。

博士指出,阿姿琳潜在的精神障碍,被指为情绪低落的适应性障碍,这影响了其指控能力。

不认同另一心理医生供词

上周,控方的心理健康研究所精神病医师Kenneth Koh博士指出,阿姿琳几乎把所有的愤怒和暴力发泄在受害者身上,而她能够控制自己不去攻击其他孩子,显示了她有很强的的克制能力。

但是拉杰什不同意有关的说辞,即阿姿琳的适应性障碍被指和案件中的犯罪行为无关。

“如果你注意案件演进表,阿姿琳的发病时间是在2016年3月,而适应性障碍会持续存在于这数个月中,一直到受害者逝世。”

“这不能说有关的精神病就不见了。它还是存在的,当发生暴力行为时,适应性障碍精神病就会出现。”

今天继续有关的审讯,控方将会继续让拉杰什供证。

若被判谋杀罪名成立,阿姿琳或会面对死刑或无期徒刑,其丈夫若被定罪也同样可能面对有关的刑法。
