A Singapore court has sentenced a former Sri Lankan domestic help to 10 years in jail for killing her Indian lover.
Tharmalingam Puwaneswary, a Sri Lankan national, was found guilty of striking the head of Murugaiyan Selvam, an Indian-origin man, with a five-kg dumb-bell following an argument in the victim's house in December 2009, the Today newspaper reported Tuesday.
