The Maid Escaped Singapore Via Ferry to Indonesia After the Alleged Murders

Following the alleged murders of her employers in their Bedok Reservoir home in 2017, domestic helper Khasanah departed Singapore by ferry at 1:20 PM on the same day the bodies were discovered. She utilized the Harbourfront Cruise Centre for her escape. Approximately one week after her arrival in Indonesia, she was apprehended by Indonesian authorities.
Departure from Harbourfront Cruise Centre

Khasanah left Singapore from the Harbourfront Cruise Centre on a ferry. This departure occurred on the afternoon of June 21, 2017, after the couple, Chia Ngim Fong, 79, and his wife Chin Sek Fah, 78, were found dead in their flat. The police received a call for assistance regarding the incident at approximately 3:40 PM that same day.
Apprehension in Indonesia

Indonesian authorities arrested Khasanah on June 28, 2017, a week after she had returned to her home country. Her arrest took place in Jambi province, in central Sumatra, at Hotel Kuala Tungkal. This apprehension followed information that she was overheard discussing the murder on her mobile phone.
Legal Proceedings and Sentencing in Indonesia

After her arrest, Khasanah provided two statements to Indonesian police detailing the events leading up to the deaths. She was prosecuted in Indonesia for premeditated murder and theft due to the principle of "personaliteit," which allows for the prosecution of Indonesian citizens for offences committed abroad. Initially sentenced to life imprisonment in May 2018, her sentence was reduced to 20 years on appeal in August of the same year.
