A Sri Lankan housemaid has committed suicide in the bathroom at her employers’ house in Saudi Arabia.

 

The maid’s Saudi employer found the maid dead after he broke the bathroom door when she failed to answer his repeated calls, ‘Sada’ newspaper said.

 

It quoted police spokesman Colonel Ziad Al Rugaiti as saying the maid committed a suicide and that police are investigating her motive.

 

‘Sada’ did not say how the maid committed suicide in the bathroom at her employer’s house in the northeastern town of Khafji.(24/7)

    When will Sri Lanka stop the disgraceful practice of sending our women to slavery and expose them to exploitation, abuse, rape and finally murder

    Female maids are not given proper treatments in these communities. We have seen many incidents involving female maids in the recent past
