A 73-year-old woman who, together with her family, abused an intellectually disabled woman they treated like a slave has been sentenced to 17 years and 10 months’ jail.

Things took a turn for the worse sometime between May and June 2016, when Hasmah’s daughter Haslinda Ismail confronted the victim for performing sexual acts on her husband. Sometime between September and October 2017, when Haslinda got angry with the victim, Hasmah and Haslinda sat on both sides of the victim and, each armed with a pair of pliers, twisted the victim’s toes.

Telling the victim that she would take revenge for her grandson, Hasmah dug her finger forcefully into the victim’s right eye, causing it to bleed.By January 2018, the victim became very weak, was no longer able to walk and had wounds and sores covering her body. The DPP said the victim required around eight hours of resuscitation, and was hospitalised for over three months.

Mr Gill said his client is remorseful, adding: “Hasmah apologises to the victim, both for what she has done, and also what her children have done.
