High Criminal Court heard disturbing testimony from a Filipina domestic worker who alleged she lost part of her ear after being attacked by her employer’s son.

The 47-year-old woman told the court the incident began when the 35-year-old defendant confronted her over a missing mobile phone before allegedly chasing and assaulting her inside the home.

She testified that the man pushed her to the floor, beat her and bit her ear during the struggle. The victim said she later discovered part of her ear lying on the floor.

A medical report presented to the court stated that the woman lost around one-third of her left ear, resulting in a permanent disability estimated at seven per cent. Doctors reportedly concluded the injury was caused by a “bite of great force.”

The defendant’s sister also testified, saying she found her brother holding the maid by the neck while demanding his phone. She said the victim was bleeding heavily and part of her ear was missing.

Court records showed the defendant, who reportedly has a history of psychiatric illness, admitted to the assault during questioning before later claiming the incident was accidental.
