A Filipina domestic helper has stated in court that she was shocked when her employer pulled a diamond ring from the pocket of her backpack on April 24.
Jeambreth Algura made the statement during her trial in Kwun Tong Magistrates’ Court on July 10 for allegedly stealing two diamond rings owned by the female employer she had served for the past seven years, the sunwebhk.com reported.
The defendant told the court that her employer Lau Yi-ki sent her on an errand that day. When she came back to find two police officers in the apartment, she noticed that her umbrella, which she usually put in the pocket of her backpack, was in the wrong place.
The defendant said the officers informed her that she was being investigated over the loss of her employer’s two rings.
The defendant said Lau opened her luggage and spilled her personal belongings onto the living room floor.
Then, the employer opened her backpack and did the same, in doing so discovering one of the two missing rings and allegedly spotting the other.
When the police officers asked Algura her how the rings got into her backpack, she said she was shocked to be suspected of stealing.
Upon cross-examination by the prosecution lawyer, the defendant mentioned she was told once by Lau’s elder son, who lived in a separate unit, that his mother wanted to take revenge on her because his younger brother was closer to the maid than their mother.
The younger son, who is now 16 years old, gave evidence to the court saying the defendant is a helpful and honest domestic worker, adding that he was very close to her as the maid had been taking care of him since he was eight years old.
Algura was remanded in custody after the hearing. She has been in detention since Apr 24, when bail was refused.

Those employers are too selfish and lost their mind, how coukd you do such accusation to your maid who gave her whole hearted love and care to your children.
Anyway, you know the golden rule because you are chinese. What you do unto others will come back to you.

Hmmm that employer have mental problem. Crazy!
What’s the problem of the employer nowadays causing so much hardship to the employee, is it they don’t had enough monies to pay them or what, really funny!
simple ask for finger print

You think the young son liked the maid for No Reason?

Mae Meneses Tayo madaming employer na ganyan pag clise kayo bg inaalagaan mo yan na gagawin.dapat hindi nakakulong yun helper dahil tum8stigo na yun alaga bya.
Most of the employer feeling jealous to their helper kaya kadalas ang helper ang nalalagay s alanganin

This employer has many reasons for doing such…
1. She is over protective of her Son, to make it short story ( She is jealous that The Maid is very close to Algura.. “JEALOUS “…
2: She purposely put the ring into the bag to frame her, another motive to put algura in trouble thinking that algura will be jailed or repatriated…
3: the employer intended to take revenge because when algura in jail or repatriated, the employer hoped that she can avoid/ or escape of paying the Long service fee…
AS FOR Mike Foo’s comment-
Mr Foo, you are referring to any girl who might fall in love with the 16 yrs old boy, to be aware also right? ????…
mga kabayan Ang ibig nyang sabihin dyan ay warning sa mga magiging gf Ng bata hindi Yung mainlove yung helper sa kanya…
Dear Algura’s employer,
Pls be More smarter enough when accusing others and making a police report! You are caught in your own trap that you intended for The Maid.. Why can’t you just terminate her if you don’t want her closer to your Son, and if you want to avoid paying the Long service fee?? How I wish the helper is also smart enough to revenge back to you for causing all these mess! Counter rebuttal you in court for WRONG ACCUSATIONS.. YOU ARE BLOODY INSECURED ????????????Employer????????????????????
Maria Jovy Pacio Lentija yeah right..if d dont like dr kids closer to the maids than. wd dm.thn better.they.will.gimave more.time for them..bcoz d will gt closer bcoz we.as maids.always.dr for them
Mike Foo hahaha so funny. Clearly, you are just trying to explain the situation at hand but everyone is jumping on you ????????????
