SINGAPORE (AFP) – A Singaporean woman who starved, assaulted and ultimately killed her domestic worker was sentenced to 30 years in prison yesterday, with the judge describing the case as “among the worst types of culpable homicide”.
The affluent city-state is home to some 250,000 domestic workers who mostly come from poorer Asian countries, and stories of mistreatment are common.
But the abuse inflicted on Myanmar national Piang Ngaih Don, 24, was particularly awful and captured on CCTV installed in the family’s home. The domestic worker was stomped on, strangled, choked, battered with brooms and burnt with an iron, according to court documents. The domestic worker died in July 2016, after her employer Gaiyathiri Murugayan repeatedly assaulted her over several hours. Gaiyathiri, 41, pleaded guilty in February to 28 charges including culpable homicide. Another 87 charges were taken into account in sentencing.
