Couple admits killing Filipina maid Victim crushed to death by car
KUWAIT CITY, July 17: Detectives belonging to Ahmadi CID have unraveled the murder mystery of a Filipino woman whose corpse was found near horse stables area in Kabad on Thursday.
Sources say the sleuths managed to identify the victim as a housemaid who worked for a Kuwaiti family. The family had returned the maid to a domestic workers’ office over three months ago.
Officers came to know that another Kuwaiti woman had hired the maid using a stolen ID card and fictitious phone numbers. The woman, who stays in Salwa, later confessed that she and her husband maltreated the maid on a daily basis. When they feared that the maid would die, they took her in their car to the stables area and crushed her under their vehicle to give an impression that she was run over by a motorist. The woman’s husband also corroborated her confession.
Earlier, when officers reached the address the woman gave at the domestic workers’ office, they found another woman who had no clue about the victim. They then discovered that the suspects stole the ID card of the woman to employ the victim. After a lot of effort, investigation men finally managed to reach the suspects and arrested them. Officers found out that the woman had earlier maltreated several other housemaids.

By April this year, the 118 member-countries of NAM endorsed his candidature and in May the 198 countries involved in the treaty elected him president during their third preparatory conference in New York. Popularly known as the father of the Filipino Expatriates Inc, a foundation he helped set up to assist the Filipinos in need of financial, medical and legal support in UAE, Cabactulan urged all Filipinos to do their best to get the FilEx going, calling it as “his legimitate son that should bear fruit for everyone.”
