An Indonesian domestic worker in Hong Kong has been arrested and charged with murdering her 93-year-old employer, according to prosecutors. Kharsina, aged 52, appeared in Kwun Tong Court on Wednesday to face the serious allegation. She was initially taken into custody by the police on Monday after her elderly employer was discovered unresponsive in her Long Yiu House flat on Sunday.
Emergency medical responders arrived at the scene, but unfortunately, the elderly woman succumbed to her injuries soon after being transported to the hospital. The arrest of Kharsina occurred following a thorough investigation. In court, the prosecution requested a 12-week delay to conduct additional inquiries, such as obtaining an autopsy report.
Magistrate Eric Yao Kwok-sun granted the request for a postponement and scheduled the next court appearance for January 6, next year.
