He said it all started when his 56-year-old mother asked him for money.
When he denied her request, Sujay Solomon Sutherson said his mother then grabbed his hair and scratched him.
He also said something else: That she tried to undress him, saying “I want a son”.
The quarrel violently: Sujay, 34, stabbed his mother, Madam Mallika Jesudasan, in the neck three times with a knife and came close to decapitating her.
He said he had acted in self defence when his mother attacked him on May 27, 2012.
But Judicial Commissioner Hoo Sheau Peng did not accept Sujay’s arguments of self-defence, or what is known as private defence, when he fatally stabbed his mother at the family’s Bukit Batok East flat.
Yesterday, Ms Hoo convicted Sujay of culpable homicide not amounting to murder.
Sujay will be sentenced in September.
