A Saudi man in his 60s was killed when his hunting gun fired accidentally while he was cleaning it at home in the Gulf kingdom, a newspaper reported on Sunday.

The bullet hit the man in the face just under his lower jaw and he died just after arrival in hospital in the central town of Majmaha, Sharq said.

It quoted police as saying they investigated the accident and decided no criminal act was involved in the man’s death.

Maid adds Clorox to baby’s milk

Saudi police arrested an Ethiopian housemaid accused of adding Clorox detergent to milk in a bottle used to feed her employer’s baby.

Newspapers said the 18-month-old boy was taken to hospital for treatment in the central province of Al Qasseem after having milk from his bottle.

His father found the detergent substance in the milk and gave it to the police, who said they waited for forensic test results before referring the maid to court.
