KUALA LUMPUR: Two women were arrested yesterday for allegedly abusing an Indonesian maid at a house in Taman Rainbow, Sentul here.
Sentul police chief ACP Beh Eng Lai said today that the 24-year-old victim suffered injuries to her face, head, shoulders and neck as a result of allegedly being beaten up by her 38-year-old female employer and her other Indonesian maid aged 42.
