A WOMAN who allegedly poisoned her husband went on trial before a Community Court on Wednesday.

Fong Quay Sim, 67, claimed trial to causing her husband, Mr Chan Tin Sun, 70, to take arsenic with intention to cause hurt to him at their former house at Jalan Ulu Siglap between 2004 and 2005.

Mr Chan, a retiree and former contractor, testified that he was hospitalised a couple of times in 2006, and was so sick during one period that he could not move his arms. He then found out from doctors that he had been poisoned.
