| Couple to die for starving Indonesian maid |
| 2014-03-08 |
| h/t Instapundit A Malaysian couple was sentenced to hang for starving their Indonesian maid to death, a defense lawyer said, one of a string of shocking cases spotlighting abuse of domestic helpers in the region. Isti Komariyah weighed just 26 kilograms (57 pounds) on her death in Kuala Lumpur in June 2011 from what a court ruled was deliberate starvation, according to Malaysian media reports on the ruling. I hope it's a slow noose. |

| #4 Seems to me they could have at least taken her to a doctor if she was starving herself. |

| #3 How do you tell whether she was starved or she starved herself? Is a Third World court capable of determining this? Or is this yet another example of a Muslim country whaling on non-Muslims for any reason it can gin up? |
