Husband of a North Sulawesi migrant worker has claimed his wife died after being abused by her employer in Singapore.
Herman Nangin said his wife, Upriyanti Kasim, who returned home from Singapore, was dead from swollen stomach in the National Police Hospital on Sunday.
"My wife suffered a prolonged headache as she was beaten by family members of her employer in Singapore," he said as quoted by Kompas.com, adding his wife’s employer sometimes punched her nose.
Herman said he had asked his wife to go home after several abuses but she never made it until last week.
The North Sulawesi branch of PT Manpower Indonesia manager, Geertje Mekel, said he would accompany Upriyanti family to unravel the case as part of his responsibility.
He denied his firm had pressurized Upriyanti to say good things about her employer.
