The body of a Indian man who was stabbed to death by an Ethiopian housemaid in Saudi Arabia last month has been flown home.
Syed Sajid, a native of Golconda, who had been working with a Saudi family in the eastern Saudi city of Dammam for two years, was murdered February 17 by an Ethiopian woman who worked with the same family.
Indian embassy officials and social worker Naaz Vankkam visited the Dammam Central Hospital prior to the body’s repatriation on Thursday, the Arab News reported today.
Sajid was working as a male nurse to the family for nearly two years. The maid was arrested and subsequently charged with Sajid’s murder.
“We have full confidence and trust in the Saudi judicial system,” one of Sajid’s relatives in India, Syed Mohsin, was quoted as saying by the Arab News.
