The Intermediate Court has fixed July 6 to hand down sentence to a domestic helper who had physically abused an autistic child.
Indonesian national Sriyani, 42, pleaded guilty on Thursday to the charge of assaulting her employer’s four-year-old son.
Judge Pengiran Masni binti Pengiran Haji Bahar deferred the sentence to consider a fitting punishment for the defendant from the provisions of a fine of BND20,000 and a maximum of 10 years’ jail.
Deputy Public Prosecutor Raihan Nabilah binti Haji Ahmad Ghazali revealed that the incident was unearthed from CCTV footage captured by CCTV camera installed at the family home in Gadong showing the defendant’s assault on the child on June 19 morning.
