Maid kills employer in Saudi

A Senegalese housemaid used a kitchen knife to kill her Saudi female employer just before iftar (Ramadan evening meal) following a heated argument at home, a newspaper reported on Sunday.

The woman, in her 30s, was rushed to hospital in the Eastern port of Dammam with several stab wounds but she died on the way.

‘Ajel’ newspaper said the maid was later arrested by the police while hiding in a nearby warehouse.
