Police had apprehended the housemaid’s female employer after the Ethiopian woman arrived dead at Jahra Hospital on Friday. The woman was questioned after head injuries and beat marks were noticed on the victim’s body. Investigations revealed yesterday that the perpetrator was the woman’s 15-year-old son. According to investigators, the boy brutal- ly attacked the maid under the pretext that she left the family’s house without permission. The circumstances behind the maid’s escape and return to her employer’s house are still unknown. The teen’s mother is also expected to face charges for covering up the crime. Meanwhile, a security source said vice detectives raided a jakhour (animal pen) where homosexual parties for both genders were being organized. The source said that 32 men and women were arrested in the pen in Kabd. Liquor and women’s clothing were also confiscated. Separately, two more suspects - a Syrian and a Kuwaiti - were arrested in connection with an armed robbery in which two Indian security guards were killed at the vegetable market in Sulaibiya last month. -
