A 32-year-old Indonesian caregiver believed to have tried to “escape” from her employer was found dead early on Saturday at a high-end residential building in Taichung City, Taiwan.
On the morning of November 18, a female employer surnamed Lin sought help from the building’s security team as her foreign domestic caregiver, named Panti, who had worked in Taiwan for a year, was missing from her apartment on the 11th floor of the block on Longmen 1st Street in Taichung’s Xitun district, China Times reported on the weekend.
The woman was later identified and found lying unconscious with either no breathing or pulse on a balcony of an apartment on the second floor, along with bags of her belongings such as clothes and shoes.
A preliminary police investigation ruled out the possibility of foul play, as the victim was believed to have fallen from high up while climbing down from her employer’s home on the 11th floor to the ground in a bid to avoid being caught by security if she took the lift or staircase.
Police learned that the employer’s family caught the Indonesian woman trying to run away a few days ago before the incident, so the building’s security team had been notified to help keep an eye out to check on her whereabouts.
Lin recently filed a complaint to the employment agency and wanted to send the domestic caregiver away, as she was seen talking on the phone or giving excuses to meet up friends “too often”, as well as allegedly lacking motivation to take care of the elderly.
Ohhhh really???
The dead can’t speak for herself!
More like a slave……caregivers work longer than allowed by law, its shame to see this in Taiwan. Dubai/Saudi Arabia/China…….yeah, but not in Taiwan.
It’s hard to believe that she is trying to escape thru that 11th floor window. Climb!? Wtf!
Oh common its none sense!the dead can’t ‘speak anymore!dont try to foul us!may she rest in peace.
It posaible that she do to scape because most indonesian make relatoin ship with guy..maybe she try to scape it just because her boyfriend wants her to do that…this situation not hide to all people..most indonesian run away from their employer because of there love affair..
Kung Yang how could that be? With that high rise building? And oh I am not an indonesian but the issue here is the death of lady not their love affair.
Yeah…trying to escape???thats rediculous what the use of day off..
There is a foul play here ! Sad to say dead can’t speak for herself . Haii RIP 🙁
Kung Yang …how did you know the real story..must better to keep your mouth shot up if u have nothing to to know the exact and real agenda of that case incident…don’t make conclusions ur own scenariookay..REST IN PEACE TO POOR LADY…GOD ONLY ONE KNOWS THE REAL WHAT HAPPENED..
Mostly the employer lier why the endonesia caregiver trying to escape thier house so that mean they didn’t not good employer….???????????? Hope the good have result for investegation. A
Kung Yang am not convence of what u say we dont know the real score whats going on! all i want to say is dont be judge mental,
Taiwan has a lot of tnt,the reason why they want to run away is just because they’re not treating good by the employer stress and lack of food sleeping on the floor etc.
Dont judge the book by its cover
Sad ????
Climbing down from high up 11thfloor,seriously?
Those police most be kidding right?how can that be possible?if she is that disparate to escape and risk her life,maybe something wrong with her employer’s.unless she lost her mind and think she can be spiderwoman.the employer’s filed a complaint already and wanted her to send away,why she need to run away?not making sense.they need to investigate more further.
police should find her other Indonesian friends and get understanding what is the true pics to her work situation.
I think taiwan government should follow to their own rules as indicated on foreign worker contract,maybe it’s not that the she’s lucking of motivation for taking care of the elder,maybe she has a lot of work that is not written on her contract.taking care of elderly was really a difficult job,it is needed more attention specially if the patient is disabled.more extra job aside from what is wriiten in the contract may cause a foreign workers run away..
Taiwan goverment have to make a releiable actions in these situation to for the safety of all foreign workers especially the caregivers here in Taiwan…
Liar
