Singapore’s first ‘exorcism’ case on trail

Friday, March 20th, 2009

On 10 August 2004 , Madame Amutha Valli suffered a late night abduction by Christian fanatics as they determined to chase away the evil spirits from her. Alas there was one remaining – the spirit of Imagination-Goes-Bad-Motivated-By-Greed which prevailed toward her suing the priests & volunteers at Novena Church who in turn presented their version of Truth as she being brought to the Church by her family members who claimed she was being possesed & the same family members requested for a priest to pray for her.

After a very lengthy & tedious legal battle, the verdict is finally out. But first, do check out the compilation of news covering this bizarre incident from June 2008 till February 2009 when the case is finally closed.

On Friday 13 February, High Court Judge Lee Seiu Kin brought down the curtain on a courtroom drama spanning some 30 months: He threw out Madam Amutha Valli Krishnan’s lawsuit against Novena Church and nine others, citing “many dubious areas” in the evidence provided by the 53-year-old’s witnesses.

Mdm Amutha Valli had claimed that on Aug 10, 2004, she went to the church with her two children and a close friend to pray. But she fainted and found herself subjected to a two-and-a-half-hour ritual, during which she claimed she was strangled, pinned down and verbally abused.

In his 61-page judgment, Justice Lee said he found it hard to believe her companions’ claims that they were helpless to stop the “ritual”. “They were articulate in the witness box and able to give as good as they took from the counsel … This is in stark contrast to the meekness that they appeared to display on the night in question.”

He also noted Mdm Amutha Valli’s son Jairaj’s “nervous twitches, which could be due to the stress of cross-examination or to the fact that he had to maintain a story that was not true”.

Justice Lee noted the “equally bizarre” account given by the defendants of Mdm Amutha Valli “slithering like a snake, shouting and screaming like Satan and marching like a soldier’’.
