SINGAPORE — An Indonesian maid was charged on Nov 6 with causing grievous hurt by performing a rash act in an accident in River Valley that killed a four-year-old girl. Lilyana Eva, 32, is accused of committing the offence shortly before 5pm on Jan 23. According to court documents, she allegedly failed to ensure the safety of Zara Mei Orlic that day by bringing her to cross a road at an unsignalised junction without holding on to the child. As a result, the girl ran across the road and suffered serious injuries after a car struck her. She died later that day. On July 12, in Coroner Eddy Tham's findings into Zara's death, he said the Australian girl was on her way home from pre-school with Lilyana. Zara had walked a short distance ahead of the maid, who was carrying school bags and was holding the hand of Zara's two-year-old sister. Zara ran across Institution Hill in River Valley and did not notice an oncoming car from her left. Coroner Tham said the girl, who was just 1m tall, was completely obscured by a stationary vehicle nearby.
