Another migrant worker from Indonesia has been killed by an employer in Malaysia.
Manpower attaché for Indonesian Consulate in Kuala Lumpur, Tegus H. Chayono said officials are waiting for the result of an autopsy on the victim, who had been identified as Siti Fatonah, a 20 year-old.
“We have sent a staff to monitor and take cares her body at the hospital while we finish the paperwork for her insurance policy,” Tegus said as quoted by Antara news agency on Saturday.
According to deputy police chief of Subang Jaya, Abdul Aziz Abdul Majid, Siti’s employer, a Chinese Malaysian man, had been charged for her death and also for murdering his wife.
Aziz said the man quarreled with Siti at about 7 p.m. before he took a knife and cut her throat. His wife tried to contain her husband’s raging anger, but was then attacked and ended up being treated the same like Siti.
The man came to his senses and then cried while carrying his wife on a sofa until the police came, Aziz said.
