THE woman accused of spiking an acquaintance's coffee now faces five more charges. Two more spiking charges and three theft charges were read out to Vicky Herman Quek Bee Lan, 44, in a district court yesterday.

The unemployed woman is accused of also adding sleeping pills and a Dormicum tablet, a brand of sedative, into coffee drunk by Mr Lim Yang Hua at the Touch Centre church in Marine Parade Central at 8pm on Oct 9 last year.

Two days later, she allegedly spiked the coffee of Mr Teo Kui Hock at about 1.30pm when both of them were at the Raffles Hospital in North Bridge Road.
