HONG KONG (AFP): Police yesterday were taking a statement from the employer of an Indonesian house maid who was found stabbed on the podium of a private housing estate in a Hong Kong suburb.

The 19-year-old woman was discovered shortly after dawn Sunday at Siu Lek- yuen, in Shatin, with her hands and feet tied, her mouth gagged and a knife in one of her wrists, a police spokesman said.

She was taken to hospital for treatment, while her boss was asked by police to give a statement. No names were disclosed.

Several tens of thousands of Indonesians, Filipinas, Thais and Sri Lankans work as domestic helpers in Hong Kong.
