Chilis are known for its spiciness and are often used to add a kick to curries and other dishes. However, when used for nefarious purposes, it can lead to dire consequences, including death.
A father in Singapore is now facing up to five years in jail after he allegedly forced a chili tip right into his son’s mouth, eventually resulting in his demise.
