AN INDONESIAN maid went berserk and attacked the agent's teenage
daughter when her boss was out.
Utami, 25, who arrived here on March 1, had been staying with
the maid agency owner since March 9 after running away from her
employer's workplace.
On March 16, she stayed back with the owner's 15-year-old
daughter at the condominium in Bangkit Road in Bukit Panjang after
complaining of being unwell.
She was later found sitting on the second-floor kitchen ledge
but the teenager managed to get her to come down with the help of a
security officer.
Later, while the girl was in her room, Utami attacked her and
threatened her with a knife. She also used a glass mug to hit the
victim on the head; bound her to a chair and blindfolded her before
fleeing.
She was arrested on May 7.
On Tuesday she was jailed five months for criminal intimidation,
causing hurt and wrongfully restraining the victim and remaining
here for 46 days after her work permit had been cancelled.
