22 year old Indonesian maid Nurhayati Ahmad pleaded guilty to charges of poisoning her employer. Ahmad put weed killer in the 77 year old woman's coffee. The woman's daughter called the police after examining the coffee. Two bottles of poison were later found in the house.
Ahmad's lawyer says the maid could no longer stand being told off. And Ahmad is not alone. Nearly 300,000 Indonesians work as domestic workers in Malaysia and reports of abuse abound.
Indonesia stated in June that no more maids will be sent to Malaysia until these problems are addressed.
