A woman slapped and punched her domestic helper who was on her first day of work.
She tormented Ms Amandeep Kaur for about two months, with her husband joining in the abuse later.
The maid finally fled through a window of the couple’s flat on the fourth storey of a Housing Board block in Rivervale Crescent, Sengkang.
The prosecution said Farha Tehseen and her spouse Mohammad Tasleem “lashed out” at Ms Kaur, an Indian national who was then 27, as they saw her as a “poor performer” who “did not meet their standards”.
Farha repeatedly assaulted Ms Kaur in November and December 2016. She also threatened to beat the maid with a stick.
Tasleem punched and kicked the maid on two separate occasions, the court heard.
On Tuesday (June 9), District Judge Shaiffudin Saruwan found Farha, 39, guilty of nine counts of assault and one count of criminal intimidation after a trial.
He also convicted Tasleem, 41, of two assault charges. Both offenders are Singapore permanent residents.
