Back to EpisodesAustralian Couple Trial: Alleged Slave in Their Home
Description
A Malaysian woman was allegedly enslaved in Melbourne by a couple, Chee Kit Chong and Angie Liaw, who are on trial for possessing a slave and assaulting the victim. The woman, who moved to Australia in 2017, was subjected to unpaid chores, threats of violence, and inadequate food. She faced real hell, including sleeping on stairs or in the garage, being kicked and hit, and being banned from leaving without Chong. The woman passed away in 2024, and now evidence is being presented in court. The couple pleads not guilty, with Chongs lawyer arguing no assaults happened and freedoms werent restricted, and Liaws team arguing theres no proof beyond doubt. The case is unfolding in Victorias County Court, with the jury weighing if this was slavery or something else.
