Azlin Arujunah, 27, is on trial with her husband Ridzuan Mega Abdul Rahman for murder with common intention byDefence psychiatrist Dr Jacob Rajesh told the court that Azlin had “learnt that way of punishment when she was young”.

He added that Azlin had given statements that were “causing detriment” to her case because she “wanted one person to get a lighter sentence” so that one of them could be released from prison earlier to “go back and look after the children”."STUCK IN AN ABUSIVE RELATIONSHIP" He said Azlin had lost"any form of social support" when her grandmother died in March 2016. Her mother, whom she drew closer to after her grandmother's death, died a few months later in June that year.

An adjustment disorder is a psychiatric disorder where a person has problems coping emotionally with certain external stressors. Last week, prosecution psychiatrist Kenneth Koh said all of Azlin's anger and violence seemed to be"honed in onto the victim and she was able to restrain herself from attacking the other children, which therefore showed she had quite a large amount of restraint".
