| The fight between the two Pinays happened in this luxury estate in Yaumatei |
Two Filipina helpers have been detained by police after
engaging in a fight on Monday, Oct.1 that left one scalded and the other also injured, at their employer’s
flat in a luxury estate in Yaumatei.
The two were sent to hospital by officers who responded to a
999 call about a fight in unit F on the 43rd floor of Tower 2 at The
Harbour Side at around 10 am.
Their employer’s family was vacationing in Thailand
A police spokesman said the officers arrested a 48-year-old
maid surnamed Salazar and booked her for wounding. The other maid, surnamed
Fajardo, 34, was initially booked for assault causing bodily harm.
The spokesman said initial investigations showed that Fajardo
had attacked Salazar with a bottle and the latter hit back by grabbing a pot of
hot water and dousing her assailant with it. Both were sent to Queen Elizabeth
Hospital
As of this writing, Salazar and Fajardo were reportedly still
in detention while police continued their investigation.
The two are expected to be charged in court after the
investigation.
Meanwhile, Filipina neighbors of the two said Salazar and
Fajardo had been quarreling for some time but they did not know the reason.
