Singapore woman gets three years in jail for torturing maid

Singapore - A Singapore court on Wednesday sentenced a woman to three years in jail for torturing her Indonesian maid, a media report said. Maselly Abdul Aziz, 39, scalded the genitals of her helper with boiling water, helped to pull out two of her teeth, hit her with a metal rod and threatened to kill her. Last year, Maselly's two children and her lesbian lover were jailed for their part in torturing 30-year-old Badingah, who like many Indonesians only uses one name, the online edition of the Straits Times newspaper reported. After the abuse, committed in June and July 2007, the maid escaped from the family flat by jumping from a window on the second floor. Badingah's body showed numerous injuries, including bruises, cuts, an infected scalp and scalding.
