The High Court here sentenced a former wiring consultant and his wife to death by hanging today for murdering their Indonesian maid.
Fong Kong Meng, 58, and housewife Teoh Ching Yen, 56, were found guilty of murdering Isti Komariah, 26, at house No. 90, Jalan SS 2/6, Sea Park in Petaling Jaya near here between May 14, 2010 and June 5, 2011.
Justice Datuk Noor Azian Shaari in her judgement said the victim died of starvation as a result of the couple's failure to provide her food and medical treatment.
The judge also noted that the victim's weight had deteriorated to 26 kg at the time of her death, from 46 kg when she first started working for the couple.
Noor Azian said the defence failed to counter the prosecution's submission on the cause of the victim's physical condition and death, and that its own submission were a mere denial of the charge. Full story...
