| The Filipina was ordered to return to Kwun Tong court on Dec 9 |
A Filipina domestic worker has been accused in Kwun Tong
Court of ill-treating her three-year-old ward on two occasions in September
this year.
Ma. Gorettee Nang appeared before Magistrate Ivy Chui on
Monday, Nov 4, as the original charge against her was amended and a new charge
added.
Nang was arrested on Sept 9 this year when her employer
reported to police that she had ill-treated her ward in a manner that might
have caused the child a lasting injury.
The second charge was similar to the first but happened on
Sept 6, the prosecution said.
Both incidents allegedly happened in the employers’ home in Choi Ming Court,
Tseung Kwan O.
The defendant, who appeared without a lawyer, told the court
the second incident was accidental.
But Chui told Nang she was only being asked whether she
understood the charge. The magistrate then instructed her to go to the Duty
Lawyer Service Office and engage the services of counsel.
Chui adjourned the case until Dec 9 and extended Nang’s
bail. – Vir B. Lumicao
