[Title] => Filipina maid in grisly Singapore murder convicted
[Summary] => SINGAPORE (AFP) — A Filipina maid was convicted yesterday of culpable homicide not amounting to murder for the killing of a fellow domestic worker whose head and limbs were found in a smart Singapore shopping area.
Gwen Aguilar, 30, escaped the death penalty for killing and chopping up 27-year-old compatriot Jane La Puebla when her murder charge was reduced due to her mental state.
"In the circumstances, I convict you of the charge you face," said High Court Judge V.K. Rajah.
