A DEPRESSED woman who killed her son in a murder-cum-suicide bid was jailed for seven years on Friday.

Kang Ka Li, 37, a single parent, pleaded guilty in the High Court to a charge of culpable homicide for the death of her 12-year-old son Tan Eu-Jin, a secondary one student.

Psychiatrists found Kang to be suffering from an " abnormality of the mind " that impaired her mental responsibility for her actions at the time of the killing.
