A Belgian financial executive accused of murdering his five-year-old son in Singapore will remain in detention for another six weeks as state prosecutors await a forensics report, a district court heard Wednesday.
Philippe Graffart, 42, has been charged with the murder of his son Keryan at an upmarket condominium in October. The offence is punishable by death through hanging.
Graffart, wearing a white T-shirt and looking haggard, was connected to a district court from prison via video link during a brief pre-trial mention of his case on Wednesday.
He will next appear in court on March 23.
State prosecutors asked for six weeks for a forensics team to prepare a report and defence lawyer Ramesh Tiwary agreed.
