Kuala Lumpur - Malaysian police have detained a man and his wife for allegedly beating and whipping their Cambodian maid for almost a year, a newspaper reported Friday.
The unnamed couple, aged 42 and 43, were arrested late Wednesday, a day after the maid ran away from their Kuala Lumpur home and sought help from a neighbour to alert the police, said district acting police chief Abdul Rahim Hamzah Othman.
The 25-year-old maid, who has been working for the couple for slightly over a year, told police she had been abused since January, he said.
'Initial investigations revealed that the couple used a stick and wire to beat the maid,' Abdul Rahim was quoted as saying by the Star newspaper.
