JEDDAH: Security officers in Al-Khafji arrested an Ethiopian housemaid on Tuesday evening after she stabbed her elderly sponsor to death.
Eastern Province police spokesman Col. Ziad Al-Ruqaiti said Al-Khafji police received a report at 4 p.m. on Tuesday from Civil Defense directing the team to open the door of the house in which an elderly woman lived with her housemaid.
“Upon their entry to the home, they found the elderly woman had been stabbed numerous times and the housemaid was not home,” he said.
He said an immediate and intensive search of the neighborhood was launched until the housemaid was found shortly thereafter in a state of confusion hiding in a nearby location.
“Police immediately launched investigations into the crime, and the housemaid acknowledged that she killed her sponsor by stabbing her because of a dispute between them,” said Al-Ruqaiti.
