Kuwait's top court has upheld the death sentence against an Indian maid.
According to an AFP report quoting local newspapers, the maid Qadeer
Kaleeja, 23, was charged with stealing money and valuables worth 2,700
dollars, and strangling her 80 year old Kuwaiti employer, Aisha al-Fadalah
to death.
The murder occurred in November 1999, and the maid was sentenced to death by
criminal and appeals courts. This sentence was upheld on Tuesday by the
cassation court.
Indians represent the largest expatriate community in Kuwait, with a total
population of 295,000 out of 2.2 million. Many of them work as domestic
servants earning a monthly wage of up to 50 dinars (165 dollars).
