An Indonesian maid is set to stand trial for the death of her employer's four-year-old daughter in a traffic accident in Singapore.
An Indonesian maid intends to claim trial over the death of her then employer’s four-year-old daughter, who was killed in a traffic accident near River Valley Road. The 32-year-old is accused of failing to ensure the safety of Zara Mei Orlic, who was crossing a road, Institution Hill, at an unsignalised junction. Lilyana is said to have failed to hold on to the girl as the child crossed the road shortly before 5pm on Jan 23, 2024.
Zara, an Australian, was hit by a car whose driver had only one second to react. On Jan 8, the maid’s defence lawyer Lolita Andrew asked for her client’s case to be adjourned for a trial conference. The case will next be heard on Jan 31. As they crossed Institution Hill in River Valley, Zara ran ahead of the maid. The girl, who was just 1m tall, was completely obscured by a stationary vehicle nearby. Coroner Eddy Tham found that the car driver could not have detected Zara’s presence as she ran across the road. Offenders convicted of causing grievous hurt to another person while performing a rash act can be jailed for up to four years and fined up to $10,000
