Police are searching for a 35-year-old domestic worker who allegedly added baby powder to a Hong Kong couple’s bottle of yam powder, a substance believed to be good for people’s health.
The maid had worked for a couple in an apartment in Kennedy Town on Hong Kong Island. At 8pm on Tuesday, a 36-year-old man reported the case to police, saying his wife suspected their former domestic worker of putting baby powder in a bottle of edible yam powder, news website HK01.com reported.
The couple live in an upscale apartment at University Heights on 23 Pokfield Road. The man’s wife had bought a can of yam powder for health purposes, but when she consumed the powder, she suspected baby powder had been added because the powder had an unusual smell.
After an initial investigation, police classed the case as “administering poison with intent to injure” and officers from the crime investigation team at Western Police Station are following up the case. No one has been arrested so far.
The police report did not disclose the nationality of the maid or the reason she no longer worked for the family.
On May 28, a 24-year-old Indonesian maid was arrested after allegedly mixing urine with water and serving it to her female employer in an apartment in the New Territories’ Tuen Mun.
Ayan napapala sa mga among may T….cguro kung totoo man na nilagyan malaki ang galit nito sa kanila.Hindi ninyo siguto tinatrato ng mabuti ang inyong katulong .Kasi kung mabait kayong amo hindi gagawin ng katulong yan.or else pinagbintangan niyo lang kasi ugali niyo mahilig kayo mang bintang takot kayo kasi mga tuso kayo.Sabi nga magtanim ka ng kabutihan para kabutihan ang aanihin mo.
Guys pls read the article before commenting. ITS BABY POWDER NOT MILK POWDER
You’re absolutely right????
Edward Antonio Lacayanga wala ng ibng baby powder pa kundi pulbo lng. Bka kamo sira na un iniinom niya…tapos ibentang niya sa iba. Or bka sa next ntin mbsa eh, milyonis na pla ang hlga ng iniinom niya.
Ida Mediana hindi nila daw reveal kc di n daw ngwork sa family un katulong
Baby powder is not milk, po. Yung ibang comments ang nasa isip eh gatas yung baby powder. Polbo po ang pinag uusapan. Apparently, wala na sa bahay ang helper, but before she left, she did that. And it’s not something impossible, ihi nga ginamit para ipainom sa amo, polbo pa? Dami nyo reklamo. It’s the newspaper’s right whether to disclose or not the identity of the culprit. If you feel like being pinagloloko kayo ng news, gaya ng sabi ng ibang nag comments, simple…quit patronizing this online news website, unlike it and Presto! Wala na kayo mababasang bias or manlolokong balita. That easy!
I think kalahi nla yn na chinese kc ayaw nla imention nationality if indo or phil yn sasabihin agad
I just wish hindi fake yam powder nabili nila. Y nt buy another new one n compare orhave check n a chem lab?
My goodness! Maybe your yan powder is already expired or product from China ????????????then blame it to your house maid?
may kasabihan nga, what you do is what you get kung ano itinamim yan din aanihin mo kung ang trato mo sa helper eh d maganda naturalmente d maganda magiging feedback syo, kung binato ng bato aba batuhin mo.din ng bato learned lesson.din yan sa mga amo n hayup ang turing sa kasambahay
