Another Sri Lankan housemaid from Saudi Arabia was admitted to Karapitiya hospital with metal wires (nails) forced into her arms by her employer, Galle police said.

The doctors stated that one metal wire was successfully removed from her left hand yesterday and there are two more wires still to be removed.

She is a resident of Galle and  had been employed in Saudi Arabia since November 2010 but returned after allegedly being abused by her employer.

The victim told police that her employer in Saudi Arabia had inserted these nails after she protested his advances. Galle police are conducting further investigations.
