KLANG, Oct 26 — An Indonesian maid, rescued from a house in Taman Sentosa last week, died at the Tengku Ampuan Rahimah Hospital here this morning.
Doctors said Mautik Hani, 36, from Surabaya, who had been in a coma since Saturday, died at 10am.
She was rescued by police on Tuesday and was found with a wound on her leg as well as bruises on her arms and face.
A 30-year-old trader and his wife are currently under remand to help investigations into claims of abuse. Police are expected to reclassify the case.
Her death is expected to further sour relations between Malaysia and Indonesia.
Cases of Indonesian maid abuse have been a major cause of strained relations in recent years and news of Mautik’s death has already been picked up by Indonesian newspapers.
The online edition of Jakarta Globe has the headline "Indonesian Maid in Malaysia Dies After Being Rescued From Alleged Abuse".
