SINGAPORE, June 22 — A 41-year-old woman, who viciously abused her domestic worker almost daily over nine months and starved her till she died in 2016, was sentenced to 30 years’ jail in the High Court today.

The Singaporean pleaded guilty in February to 28 offences. Justice See took into consideration another 87 similar charges, stemming from acts of abuse committed over two months, for sentencing.Following her plea of guilt, Gaiyathiri discharged her previous lawyers. In April, her new defence counsel, Joseph Chen, asked the court to impose a gag order prohibiting further reporting on the case in order to protect her children from adverse media publicity, as well as a reduction of the sentence.

He added: “Currently, she is back to her previous self of being a non-maid abuser. And what I understand is after she is sentenced, she would need medical help and therapy.” piang_ngaih_don_1.jpg An old photo of the deceased, foreign domestic worker Piang Ngaih Don. -- Picture via Facebook/Helping Hands for Migrant Workers, SingaporeIn his brief sentencing remarks, Justice See said that the statement of facts and video clips of the abuse, retrieved from closed-circuit television cameras that Gaiyathiri had installed in the flat, told a “shocking story”.

While the prosecution had argued that the “extreme circumstances” of the case overrode her psychiatric conditions, Justice See said the court could not ignore the latter.
