Abused Indonesian maid returns home from Malaysia

"I don't want to go back to Malaysia. I will start a business at home," she said, adding that she had enough money to start over in Tuapakas village, located some 200 kilometres (120 miles) from Kupang.
Bonat's case made headlines in Malaysia, with photographs of the severe injuries inflicted upon her by her female Malaysian boss splashed on the front pages of newspapers when she was discovered in 2004.
After accidentally breaking a mug, Bonat said she was abused every day until her breasts and back were covered with burns from a hot iron, and her face was swollen by regular beatings.
The woman, a resident of Kuala Lumpur, was found guilty in early January but is yet to be sentenced, according to reports from Indonesia's Antara news agency.
Teguh Hendro Cahyono, who accompanied Bonat from the Indonesian embassy in Kuala Lumpur, said Bonat was now "psychologically well and ready to go home".
Part of her home-coming money came from donations, he told
