An appeals court in Khor Fakkan sentenced an Asian housemaid and her boyfriend to death for murdering her handicapped Emirati employer before robbing her.

The court upheld a previous death sentence in Sharjah’s eastern port town, where the maid planned the murder with her boy friend so they can steal the 30-year-old, who lived on her own.

The maid waited for the woman’s brother and his family to go to a wedding in Sharjah, went into her handicapped employer’s bed room and tied her up. She then strangled her with the help of her lover.

The two then stole around Dh20,000 and the woman’s jewelry and fled to Sharjah. But they were later arrested after police suspected the fleeing mad was involved in the murder, which took place in mid 2011.
