Greater Jakarta: Domestic worker flees from employers'€™ abuse

T

wenty-year-old domestic worker, Ani, has run away from her employers'€™ house in Matraman, East Jakarta, and reported her employers to the police for assault.

Tribunnews.com reported that Ani, who looked terrified, came to the Matraman Police station on Tuesday. Her body was covered with bruises and swelling. She also had blunt-object trauma on her head, ears, nose and lips.

Ani told the police that she was hit with a slipper and a broom by her employers.

'€œHot water was once poured on my chest and I have a mark of an iron on my stomach,'€ she said, adding that she decided to run away by jumping over the fence of the house.

After receiving the report, the police officers immediately raided the premises.

While the owners were absent, the police found stains on a broom and a palm print possibly made with blood on the wall. One of the tenants was brought in by the police to testify.
