The Malaysian police have arrested six people for allegedly torturing an Indonesian housemaid to death on Thursday night.
Antara state news agency reported that housemaid Nurul Aida had died on her way to the Indonesian Embassy to Malaysia.
The officers had detained Nurul's employers, Krishnan and Lechumi. They had also implicated Krishnan’s child and another three Malaysian residents in the case.
“The police suspect torture was the major cause of the maid’s death …. They will charge them with murder,” embassy official Widyarka Ryananta said in Kuala Lumpur on Sunday.
Widyarka said the embassy had informed Nurul’s family (in North Sumatra) of the death.
“We will bring the body to her family after we receive an official permit from the police,” Widyarka said. (ewd)
