An Ethopian maid, twenty-five years old attempted to kill her Boss children by pouring hot boiling water over them, then stabbing them repeatedly.
The maid referred to as Y.B had admitted attempting to kill the children and herself because she was being maltreated.
She told Dubai criminal
court
“The four of them, the
mother and the children, threatened to kill me. When I later asked them to let
me go home, they refused and again threatened to kill me.
According to The National,
Prosecutors said that the maid admitted the attack was an act of revenge for
being mistreated and deprived of food. She said that she had planned the crime
because her sponsor, L A, a 42-year-old teacher, often accused her of theft and
refused to send her back home claiming that her passport was missing.
At 7am on April 11, while
the mother was out of the country, Y B poured boiling water on the children girls
A A, 15, and R A, 14, and boy K A, 10 who were sleeping. She then stabbed them
repeatedly with a meat cleaver and a knife.
The eldest sister said the
incident happened the same day her mother had to go away for medical treatment.
She said:
My sister and I were
sleeping on one bed while our brother was sleeping on a mattress.
'Around 7am I felt some boiling water
splashing on my face... I woke up shocked and saw the defendant. She held a
boiler and a cleaver in her hands. She stabbed me repeatedly in my face, and
then she attacked my sister and then my brother. We escaped and locked
ourselves inside the washroom, then called the police.
The maid then went to the
mother’s room to take the money and her passport, which was hidden in a drawer.
Emirati policeman said that
they went to Al Warqa 2 after receiving the report of the incident and had to
break down the flat’s door when no one answered.He said the children were
frightened to open the bathroom door, but did so when they knew it was police.
“They were bleeding from
everywhere and badly burnt,”
The children were rushed to
Rashid Hospital and police said they found the maid sitting on the floor of the
flat’s balcony with blood stains on her clothes and the weapons in her hands.
She is then alleged to have
tried to slit her own throat before surrendering to police when they raised
their guns. She will be deported after serving her jail term.
