Dubai’s AG seeking life sentence for maid accused of attack on children with meat cleaver
Dubai’s Attorney General is seeking a life
sentence for a housemaid accused of trying to kill two sisters and their
brother in their home.
Issam Issa Al Humaidan has referred the Ethiopian woman to Dubai
Criminal Court after charging her with attempting to murder the
children, as well as attempted robbery.
“Those charges, if she is convicted, will put her behind bars for
life,” he said. “We asked for the toughest penalty due to the savage
nature of the crime as the maid attempted to kill the children using a
meat cleaver. They begged her to stop and were bleeding, but she didn’t
stop attacking them.”
Al Humaidan said the maid wanted to kill the children, aged 12, 14
and 16, to spite their mother for refusing to let her travel to her home
country. He said: “That is not enough to make someone kill a child. The
society must look carefully to this case as an example to avoid such
crimes in the future.”
According to Dubai Public Prosecution the children are still suffering as a result of the attack, in April.
