Tortured Hong Kong helper Erwiana’s former employer claims her injuries were self-inflicted

Tortured Indonesian former domestic worker Erwiana Sulistyaningsih was back in a Hong Kong court on Monday to claim more than HK$809,000 from her abusive employer – who claimed for the first time in court that the injuries she sustained were self-inflicted.

Testifying for her injuries claim, the helper, who flew back from her native Indonesia, told the District Court that she was still haunted by her past, despite it being more than three years since she was a victim of torture by her former boss, Law Wan-tung.
