The Indonesian amah, who was
held hostage at knife-point by an intruder in a three-hour drama
at Simpang 52, Kg. Mata-Mata Wednesday evening, was discharged
from RIPAS Hospital. She was discharged on Wednesday night
itself after receiving treatment.
When the Bulletin visited the
house again yesterday, believed to be rented by a RIPAS doctor,
it was found vacant.
Hospital sources said that it
was an assault case where the amah suffered from stab wounds to
her chest and neck. A neighbour said that at the time of the
incident two kids ran away from the house and sought protection
after the assailant took the amah hostage. At the time of the
incident, the children's parents were not at home.
The intruder who later
"surrendered" has been detained for questioning. The
hostage-drama that began around 5.30 pm lasted over three hours
before the intruder surrendered after some immediate family
members entered the house to negotiate. A SUV later arrived at
the house and drove the assailant to the hospital.
