An Egyptian businessman in the United Kingdom who tied up his Filipino maid for 35 hours failed to win his appeal to have his sentence reduced.
In June 2015, Zekri Gris and his wife Dina Matiass tied domestic worker Niressa De-Vicente to a chair after Gris accused her of stealing £12,000 (US$16,105). Matiass filmed the ordeal while Gris physically and verbally abused her, Bristol Post reported.
Gris became aggressive, intimidatory and violent and slapped the maid’s face several times. The Filipino was tied up and confined in her room for 30 to 35 hours before she was able to escape by climbing out a window.
A neighbor saw De-Vicente running down the street and police were called. The couple were then arrested. On May 31, 2016, at Bristol Crown Court, Gris was charged with one count of false imprisonment and was given a three-year jail-term.
On Thursday, Matiass was given a 12-month jail term suspended for a year after pleading guilty to one count of false imprisonment. On the same day, Gris filed for an appeal to have his sentence reduced, saying it was “too tough.”
However, the court did not grant the appeal and said Gris’ jail term was not excessive for the offense of false imprisonment. “In our judgement, a significantly longer term of imprisonment could justifiably have been imposed,” the court said.
ay she got her justice – ganyan talaga ang pinoy may sakit na Alibaba…
…and you are mistaken ms. Dilanggalen.
Rauff Halday give us proof
Norhaya Asdali I believe she is not saying all, the word she said is majority of them
Resi Dela Merced-Cruz Herrera tama ka talaga, dapat young iba mag comment, analyse the situation carefully
Dont judge the religion of muslim.ok?
Rauff Halday agree…
death penalty agad …. ang mali nung employer eh nilagay yung batas sa kanilang kamay dapat sinumbong nila sa pulis na ninakawan sila ng maid
Read first before mag comment para alam natin sinasabi natin no?
Their mistake, they put law in their hands. They must have reported to the police that she stole.
Resi Dela Merced-Cruz Herrera you are correct habit na NG mga Muslim Yan kahit d ginawa pilit nila ibibintang syo na nagnakaw ka…Kung Plano mo na magpaalam at d pumayag kakasuhan ka nila gnon Ang ugali nila Kaya minsan d mo masisisi na tumakas c kabayan…
Ulol! This egyptian couple is not a muslim. Stupido ka rin.
Alsight Dilangalen hindi sinabing napatunayang nagnakaw siya, kundi yun ang accusation sa kanya. Maaaring sinabi lang nung mag-asawa yun para ma-justify ang pagkulong nila sa kanya. Kasi kung talagang nagnakaw siya, bakit di sila nag-file ng counter- charge na theft laban sa kanya. Ikaw naman nakulong na nga ang kababayan natin parang siya pa ang masama.
Narcisa, those are Christian Egyptians and not Muslims, get the information correct before you comment.
Do not generalize, not all Arabs are evil just like in your country, they are so many Filipinos foreign workers who have been killed after arriving in Philippines, robbed and killed. The Christians have committed more killings around the world more than any other religions and they are not Arabs, if you don’t know what is happening, don’t comment. If you refute my statement I will give you proof ?
arab country they are demons
Rashid Mocsana Tomawis agree ako sa sinabi mo. Huwag idamay ang relihiyon.
Alsight Dilangalen
Paano mo Naman nasabi na guilty eh Yong mga amo nga Ang nahatulan. O baka Naman Mali Ang pagkaintindi mo
Islam prohibits any form of intimidation, abuse, torture etc. to any person and prohibits any form of suspecting anyone for any crime or otherwise unless there is evidence and witnesses. Being an Arab doesn’t qualify anyone to be a Muslim. In comparison all evil murderers around the world are Christians if you need proof I can provide you.
Alsight Dilangalen binasa mo ba ung article bago ka nagcomment
