Maid blames her madness on jinn

An Ethiopian housemaid who was arrested after going mad at her employers’ house in Kuwait asked police to blame the jinn (genie), a newspaper reported on Sunday.

Police detained the maid after her employer reported that she had gone into an “uncontrollable fit of madness” at his house in Kuwaiti city,” Alanba said.

“The maid told investigators at the police centre that it was not her but the jinn,” the paper said.

“She claimed that her brother, with whom she has a dispute, sent a bad jinn in the form of a big giant to ruin her life…she told the police the jinn appears to her wherever she goes.”
