Maid to be executed for killing Kuwaiti bride

Kuwait’s top court upheld a court sentence to execute an Ethiopian housemaid after she was convicted of murdering her female employer just a day before her wedding.

The murder took place in 2011, when the maid used a kitchen knife to stab her employer to death before severing the head off her body.

The maid committed the murder just a day before the Kuwaiti girl was to marry, packed and headed straight to the airport.

Just minutes before she was to board a flight to her home country, the maid was arrested by the airport police who were alerted to the crime.
