Indian woman jailed in Singapore for fatally abusing maid gets 3-year additional term for destroying evidence

Singapore, Jun 26 (PTI) A 64-year-old Indian-origin woman in Singapore, serving a 14-year jail term for fatally abusing her daughter’s Myanmarese maid, was on Monday sentenced to additional three years in jail for removing crucial evidence in the case.

Prema S Naraynasamy will now serve a 17-year sentence for her role in abusing 24-year-old Myanmar national Piang Ngaih Don, who died of a brain injury with severe blunt trauma to her neck in 2016 after 14 months of repeated abuse.

Prema was given an additional three-year jail term for asking her son-in-law to remove a Closed-Circuit Television (CCTV) recorder that held evidence of her 43-year-old daughter Gaiyathiri Murugayan and her crimes involving Piang's abuse.
