The Singapore High Court has thrown out the exorcism case against the priests and volunteers at Novena Church, after a trial spanning two years.

In a 61-page judgement on Friday, Justice Lee Seiu Kin held that Madam Amutha Valli Krishnan had not proved her case against the defendants for assault and battery, false imprisonment and negligence.

Dr Lim, from Raffles Hospital, was testifying for Father Simon Tan, one of the defendants sued by Madam Valli, 52.

She claims two priests and six churchgoers forced an exorcism on her at the church in August 2004, an experience which left her traumatised.

Could an evening of alcohol, drugs and stress, mixed with a medical history of entering into trances, have altered the memory of the plaintiff about what happened during the alleged forced exorcism attempt?

The Novena Church, two priests and seven helpers are being sued for an alleged act of exorcism, in an incident believed to have taken place two years ago.
