4 Year Old Saudi Boy Stabbed 8 tTmes By Ethiopian Maid. (See Photos)

According to a Saudi Arabian newspaper, Sada,
an Ethiopian housemaid on Sunday, November 8,
stabbed the 4 year old son of her Saudi employer
while he was asleep. She reportedly brought a
kitchen knife and stabbed him eight times while
screaming "die… die". The little boy, who was
admitted to the intensive care unit in a serious
condition was stabbed three times in the face, one
in the hand and four in the back before she was
overpowered by the child’s mother.

The boy’s father, Ghareeb Qablan, said he was
not at home when the incident happened but
his wife was in her bedroom. "The mother tried
to stop her but she kept stabbing the child and
screaming. She stabbed him eight times before
she was brought under control by the mother
after a fight, which resulted in the mother’s injury,"
Sada reports.

The incident on Sunday was the latest in a wave
of attacks by housemaids, mainly Ethiopians, against
their employers’ families in Saudi Arabia. The attacks
have triggered public anger and calls for a ban on the
import of Ethiopian domestic workers. More than
two million housemaids, mainly from Asia and Ethiopia,
work in Saudi Arabia, the world’s top oil exporter
and largest Arab economy.
