MURDERED INDONESIAN MAID'S BODY SENT HOME

SEPANG, Oct 31 (Bernama) -- The body of the Indonesian maid who died on
Monday following alleged physical abuse by her employer in Klang was flown to
Surabaya Saturday.

A staff of the Indonesian embassy in Malaysia also went on the flight, which
departed the KL International Airport at 8.15am, said Soneta Asmara, Third
Secretary of the Information, Social and Culture Department at the embassy.

The maid, Muntik Hani, 36, died at the Tengku Ampuan Rahimah Hospital in
Klang on Monday, six days after she was found to have been allegedly abused by
her employer at a house in Taman Sentosa, also in Klang.

Sugarcane juice seller A. Murugan, 35, was charged in the Magistrate's Court
on Oct 30 with the murder of Muntik.
