Three get two years each for assault

TANGERANG: The Tangerang District court sentenced three domestic helpers to two-year prison terms on Tuesday for assaulting their younger colleague.

Ciying, 50, Effendi, 26 and Eno Sukaesih, 50, were found guilty of beating a 14-year-old maid, Sri Mulyanti, in their employer's house in Karawaci last November, presiding judge Ade Komarudin said.

The defendants, long-time workers for Mei Ing, 70, attacked the victim out of envy, because their employer trusted the young maid more, the judge added.--JP
