Maid jumps to death after caught stealing from employers

By Alvina Soh | Posted: 13 January 2012 1844 hrs

SINGAPORE: A foreign domestic worker took her own life after she was caught for theft by her employers on May 27, 2011.

A coroner's inquiry into the death of 25-year-old Shaik Razzia revealed she jumped to her death from the eighth floor corridor of her flat at Bukit Batok West Avenue 6.

The night before, Madam Chalamalasetti Jyothi and Mr Kotha Lakshmana Rao discovered their missing cash and valuables in the maid's room, including a pouch containing S$95 hidden within a cushion.

Shortly after, they confronted Shaik Razzia, who eventually confessed to stealing the items over the past several months. She was later observed by Madam Jyothi to have trouble sleeping that night.

By next morning, Shaik Razzia was missing. Mr Rao learnt of her death when he ran into the police at the void deck.

An autopsy report revealed Shaik Razzia died of multiple injuries sustained from her fall.

State Coroner Imran Abdul Hamid, who agreed with the report, said there was no evidence of foul play.

majority of the maids that go overseas to work are bogged down with financial troubles. not surprised that this one killed herself due to the fear of being send back home, face shame and also more financial burden.

Yes, you have a good analysis here. Don't mention the loan sharks coming after them too.
