A Nepalese housemaid grabbed a large kitchen knife then took the two-year-old son of her Saudi employer to the bathroom and slit his throat. She then fled home but was arrested by the police shortly later.

The father who was going to the bathroom nearly collapsed when he saw his little son lying on the floor in a pool of blood. He rushed him to hospital but the baby died on the way as his neck wound was too deep.

Police said they arrested the maid within an hour after committing the murder and are questioning her to determine her motives.

“The baby is a nephew of the wife of former Kuwaiti deputy Khudair al Anzi,” the Saudi Sharq newspaper said in a report from the northern town of Arar.
