A Melbourne couple, Chee Kit Chong and Angi Yeh Ling Liaw, stand trial for allegedly enslaving a woman. The first witness, nurse Michelle Richards, testified about seeing the woman at a health center, appearing unwashed and injured. The woman admitted to overstaying her visa and staying with the family for shelter, doing chores like cooking and childcare. She confided in Richards about being assaulted but blamed herself. The prosecution claims Chong controlled every aspect of her life, punishing her for mistakes. The couple denies the allegations, stating she was just a family member helping out. The trial reveals layers of exploitation, with more witness details to come after Easter.
