Police Spokesman DIG Ajith Rohana said the body of the woman was flown to the Bandaranaike International Airport by a Qatar Airways aircraft last morning.

The Katunayake Police began an investigation into the killing and it was revealed that the woman, a resident of Mahawa, left for Kuwait in 2019 to work as housemaid.

    How sad! These poor women who try to earn something to feed their families go to unknown lands and meet with their end .

    Hacking of our Lankan minorities on an epidemic scale has happened several times in our countries recent history, so we must not consider it an issue when it happens to a Lankan overseas. Pre covid I watched a Aljazeera 101 East story on Bangladeshi maids on average 3 being returned dead from Saudi Arabia and scores coming back pregnant
