Ethiopian: maid to be executed for killing woman, baby

(May 22, 2012, emirates24|7)--A court of cassation in Ras Al Khaimah upheld a death sentence by an appeals court against an Ethiopian housemaid after she was convicted of murdering her Moroccan employer and her little daughter.

The victim’s lawyer Kamel Al Sayyed said the verdict is final and the 23-year-old maid, S. Buhanu, would be executed by shooting after the sentence is endorsed by the ruler of the emirate.

Burhanu attacked her employer with a kitchen knife in late 2010 following an argument during which the 35-year-old Moroccan woman threatened to expel the maid. She stabbed her more than 70 times before she turned her upside down and continue stabbing her in the back.

She then dragged her employer into the bedroom and set her on fire while her 30-month-old daughter was sleeping. The Moroccan woman succumbed to her wounds and burns while her baby died of asphyxia. The maid had confessed to police that she killed the mother and her daughter and that she locked the burning bed room before fleeing with some jewellery to Sharjah, where she stayed at a friend.

Burhanu had come to the UAE in 2009 and worked for two different families before absconding to Ras Al-Khaimah, where she was employed by the victim for just one week. Read more from emirates24|7 »
