An Indonesian maid was in a Hong Kong jail yesterday awaiting trial for mixing her menstrual blood in a pot of vegetables she was cooking for her employer. Indra Ningsih, 26, allegedly told police afterwards she mixed the blood into the meal in a superstitious effort to make her Chinese employer "more amiable and less picky" towards her.
The maid was arrested on Tuesday and charged at a hearing on Wednesday with administering a poison or other noxious substance with an intent to injure. She was remanded in custody until May 13.
Ningsih was arrested after her employer peered through the kitchen door and saw her acting suspiciously as she cooked vegetables for lunch.
When the employer checked, she found a blood clot-like substance mixed with the vegetables and a used sanitary napkin in the kitchen bin.
Prosecutors said that Ningsih told police her employer had been unhappy with her performance since hiring her last July and constantly scolded her.
She told police she mixed the blood with the food because she believed it would improve their relationship and make her employer kinder to her, according to prosecutors.
