虐佣案最重判刑!雇主涉虐打女佣致永久伤害判监11年

雇主毒打印尼女佣至永久性傷害,昨日(1日)被裁定伤人罪成立,判监11年,是有史以来帮佣虐待案最重判刑。

据《雅虎新闻》报道,58岁的雇主莎尼亚(译名,Zariah Mohd Ali)涉嫌虐打其印尼女佣卡妮法(译名,Khanifah)造成她留下永久创伤,除了耳垂变形、额头永久留疤毁容外,头顶留下大片永久伤疤,无法再生发,此外,她的肩膀也留下大片伤痕,手指也被拗断至弯曲无法再灵活使用。而嫌犯则指控受害者并没有把工作做好,所以才会虐打她。

2012年,针对受害者的情况,嫌犯被指控12项造成伤害以及严重伤害罪,而雇主于2017年所有指控均罪名成立,于昨日被判刑。另外,嫌犯被判处赔偿受害者5万6497元,若未遵循将依法判处5个月监禁。

同样地,嫌犯丈夫达兰(Mohamad Dahlan)被指以平底锅砸向受害者而遭起诉,被判1年3个月监禁。此外,达兰被判处赔偿受害者1000元,若未遵循将依法判处5天监禁。

针对指控,夫妻提出上诉。

莎尼亚亦面临另16项指控与两项未提供足够食物与休息的指控,目前正处预审阶段。

雇主屡次残酷毒打造成女佣永久性受伤

这起骇人听闻的虐佣案于2011年11月开始,卡妮法成为莎尼亚的帮佣,居住在兀兰地区莎尼亚当时已中风和左手瘫痪。前6个月并无异样,只是偶尔莎尼亚会针对卡妮法的错误大骂,但2012年6月,莎尼亚开始很频密辱骂并以右手对他进行身体虐待。

莎尼亚后来将虐打行动升级,对卡妮法屡次以锤子的钝面毒打莎尼亚,惩罚她工作太慢或打扫不干净,导致卡尼法的头部与牙齿掉落、嘴部红肿变形,头部伤口更是无法愈合,最终无法长出头发。

另外,莎尼亚还会经常以短竹竿、石锤、剪刀以及菜刀毒打和戳伤,导致左耳失聪,身体遍布伤痕与红肿。此外,莎尼亚还将卡尼法的尾指拗断,造成卡尼法的尾指无法拉直。

莎尼亚在毒打后并未及时带卡尼法去看医生,经常给卡尼法胶布让伤口愈合。而尽管男雇主曾向卡尼法询问衣服上的破洞从何而来,但最后也仅给卡尼法新衣掩盖伤痕,漠视妻子对卡尼法的虐待。

干案期间,只要带女佣外出或家中来客人,她都会让女佣穿长袖戴头巾遮盖伤痕,或吩咐她躲在厕所不得出来,直到客人离去为止。莎尼亚也会试图将卡尼法禁锢在家中,将所有窗户锁上,并要求卡尼法将不准女佣使用电话,丢掉女佣写上联络号码的日记本、不准她与邻居说话,让卡尼法求助无门。

直至卡尼法于2012年12月19日回国检查后,丈夫看见卡妮法的身上的伤痕才向中介与印尼大使馆通报曝光这起惨不忍睹的案件。

恐怖经历为女佣留下难以磨灭的阴影,审讯期间屡次崩溃

据《联合早报》报道,主控官表示,恐怖的经历显然给女佣留下难以磨灭的阴影,她在审讯期间前来供证时多次崩溃痛哭,日前再次出庭供证时还心有余悸说:“我很害怕,不想再回想那一切,在法庭上看到她(女被告)就感觉十分害怕,会勾起那些恐怕的回忆,害怕会再被她攻击,我也因现在的长相自觉尴尬,我很害羞,我觉得我已毁容,我能感觉他人看见我时的异样眼光,他们都看不起我的长相。”

而女被告虽声称她身体左侧中风,推说没能力也不可能虐待女佣,但事实证明她的右边身体仍可行动自如,她也可自行搭德士去上班,在家也可以自理生活。

最后,主控官特别指出,被告夫妇早在2001年就曾因虐佣双双被判刑过。当时,女被告把辣椒涂在当时的女佣的眼睛里,也用杯子丢女佣,被判坐牢10周和罚款500元,男被告则因掌掴女佣和拉她的耳朵而入狱12周,两人也被禁止再雇用女佣,直到2010年不断上诉后才重新获批可雇用女佣,但随后就发生这次的虐佣事件,可见他们毫无悔改之心。

该起案件于2017年审理时,地方法官Luke Tan 则表示,卡尼法当时在相当脆弱的位置上,求助无门,也无任何逃脱的意思,并且提供有力证据证明,基于莎尼亚保持缄默,法庭将据之而作出对他不利的推断。
