The judge said the only sentence available was life imprisonment as she was under 18 at the time of the offence.
Although Zin Mar Nwe's passport reflected her age as 23 when she arrived in Singapore in January 2018, a bone-age test later conducted by a hospital indicated that she was only 17 at the time.
Zin Mar Nwe, who is from Myanmar, had stabbed the victim in June 2018 after the elderly woman threatened to send her back to her agent. The judge had accepted that the victim had hit Zin Mar Nwe to get her attention or to reprimand her and that the victim had also retaliated when the maid accidentally hurt the victim on certain occasions.
