After her arrest, the maid initially denied stabbing the victim and pinned the blame on two men.
A domestic worker who stabbed her employer’s mother-in-law 26 times in 2018, after the 70-year-old woman threatened to send her back to Myanmar, was found guilty of murder on Thursday.
On June 25, 2018, the two women were alone in the flat when the maid grabbed a knife from the kitchen and stabbed the victim multiple times. In her fifth statement to the police recorded on July 1, 2018, the Myanmar woman listed numerous instances of how the victim abused her. On Thursday, the High Court accepted that the victim had hit the maid to get her attention or reprimand her, and that the victim had retaliated when the maid accidentally hurt the victim.
“But for the threat to send the accused back to the agent, however, the accused would not have stabbed the deceased,” added Justice Maniam.
