Poor girl. I can only assume that the police are throwing just as much weight into the investigation as they did for Edison Chen's photographs. Yeah right.

However, one thing strikes me as peculiar. She worked for these people for 12 years (so I assume she was living with them for that length of time too), and yet they couldn't confirm it was her body that was found.

Even taking into consideration the affects of 4 days (assuming it was that long) in the water - surely they must have known her well enough to identify her?

Maybe I am oversimplifying things but it just strikes me as odd.

Remember Fawlty Towers?

"I know nothing!"

Deny knowledge of everything ... just incase you are asked another question. I'd bet money that the employers were advised by their lawyers ...

So in some cases, the camera can come to good use.

I'd also bet money that the usual rule that the person who reports someone missing is the prime suspect applies here.

In the maid's bedroom? I'm sorry but there's no justification for envading someone's privacy like that. In French, it's the same word for invading someone's privacy and assaulting someone sexually: rape. (Viol de la vie privée).

I understand that parents have a right to be paranoid regarding the person who is helping to raise their child, I have a friend in Canada whose amah killed their baby by shaking it to death, but if you want the person working for you to respect your family, you have to respect them, it works both ways.

PDLM - I think its the person who last saw the victim alive, not always the person who reports someone as missing.

I agree in the maid's bedroom and in the bathroom is wrong. But having said that, in my opinion, a camera in the living room and the baby's room is fine. As long as the maid's personal space is not infringed.

But then she was seen running from the house, if you were going to kill yourself then you wouldn't run would you, You'd walk to the location, Unless she was being chased by somebody then pushed into the water.

Who knows?

Sorry - you are, of course, correct.

Do we know by whom? The only reports I have seen suggest that this is the employers' version. Is there corroboration?
