Hardware store owners Soh Chew Tong, 44, and his wife Chin Chui Ling, 42, were found guilty of culpable homicide at a high court in the northern state of Penang, said prosecutor Tan Guat Cheng.
The prison term will run from the day of their arrest in April last year, shortly after their maid Mey Sichan was found dead by paramedics.
She weighed just 26 kilograms (57 pounds) and had bruises on her body.
