A third charge of killing his unborn son has been stood down for now.After he caught her with another man in their bedroom in 2014, Teo began harbouring suspicions that Zi Ning was not his biological daughter.

This led to frequent quarrels.On the morning of Jan 20, 2017, Teo decided not to send Zi Ning to school as her fees were overdue. On learning this, Madam Choong berated Teo for being useless.
