The husband of a woman who was killed in February 2017 after a 40m-tall tembusu tree at the Singapore Botanic Gardens fell and hit her has accused the National Parks Board (NParks) of negligence and is seeking damages.
Mr Jerome Rouch-Sirech, 43, is seeking damages for the loss and bereavement suffered by his family as she was a means of support for him and their twin children, now aged four. He is suing as co-administrator of and on behalf of the dependants of his dead wife Radhika Angara, court documents show.
