A 46-year-old woman who visited her two parents at her parents’ house was accused of slapping a maid and pushing her against the door. She took the maid’s cell phone and threw it into the washing machine. Her 88-year-old father who tried to stop her from fighting with the maid ended up getting attacked as well, she was accused of kicking and biting at her father, leaving bite marks on her father
The incident occurred at 8 pm on February 28, 2018, at her parents’ home. Defendant Lin Baoxuan was charged with four charges, including causing hurt, mischief, and reckless behaviour for allegedly attacking the maid and father, throwing the maid’s mobile phone into the washing machine and drove the car directly to her brother who blocked the car. She pleaded not guilty but was convicted on the 5th of December 2019.
The Filipino maid worked as a maid for the defendant’s brother’s home for over six years since 2005. She was arranged to take care of her 80-year-old parent two weeks before the incident.
Maid’s hearing affected after getting slapped
According to the prosecution’s closing statement, the defendant suddenly ran to the kitchen in anger, slapping the maid at least twice and pushed her against the door. Causing the maid to be slightly deaf afterwards, she also suffered bruises at her knees.
The father who was in the bedroom heard the noise and hurried out to persuade his daughter to stop. Instead of stopping, the defendant was angry with her father and started biting his arm and kicking his belly.
Her mother who was also present, witnessed the defendant attacking her father and throwing the maid’s cell phone into the washing machine.
The parent of the defendant and her brother went to court to testify against her. Chen Qiyu, the defendant’s lawyer, said that the defendant had scolded her maid for not doing her job well.
The lawyer also stated that the maid had deliberately smashed the cell phone in order to frame the defendant. However, the defendant admitted that she was dissatisfied that her father stepped in to protect the maid but did not deny that she had bitten and kicked the father and stated that she had no intention of hurting her father. It was the father who tried to throw a chair at her at that time. She immediately pointed out that the bite marks were only caused by her father’s “sensitive skin.”
Driving the car into her brother
The prosecution’s closing statement showed that the defendant then rushed out of the house to leave. Her brother chased her to the parking lot and found the defendant hiding in the car. He knocked on the window and asked her to open the door but she refuses, he then stepped in front of the car in an attempt to prevent her from leaving.
However, the defendant ignored it and stepped on the accelerator. The brother jumped on the hood to save his own life and then rolled off the car. When the defendant saw her brother falling off, he pulled down the window and laughed at him “you can’t catch me”. The brother’s knee was injured after falling off from the vehicle.
The defendant denied that his brother was standing in front of the car, and even pointed out that his confession was a complete “movie plot”, and he was not a stuntman. In the face of a high-speed car, it was impossible for a 100 kg person to jump on the hood and land on both feet.
