SINGAPORE: In the year before her employer died, an Indonesian maid repeatedly stole cash and jewellery worth about S$7,000 despite being caught early on.
While working, Eti realised that the victim kept jewellery and cash in a locked drawer and the key to the drawer under her pillow.She took the key from under the pillow and unlocked the drawer, taking cash and jewellery from it and getting friends to pawn the precious items off for money.The victim's son discovered the theft soon after the first instance in October 2018, but decided to give her another chance.
However, Eti continued stealing. She did so for a year until Oct 6, 2019, the day the elderly woman died. On Oct 6, 2019, the elderly woman died aged 76. Her son checked her drawer and realised that Eti had taken the gold bangle.She did not make any restitution for the items or cash, and the victim's son spent S$6,030 in total to redeem the pawned-off items from shops.The prosecutor asked for at least seven months' jail. Eti, who did not have a lawyer, cried in her mitigation and asked for leniency.
