How on earth is this statement relevant??
http://riyadhconnect.com/ethiopian-m...ild-in-riyadh/
In a gruesome incident, an Ethiopian domestic worker killed the daughter of her Syrian employer in Al-Nahda district, east of Riyadh on Thursday.
According to Akhbaar24, the maid used a knife to slice off the head of the girl while she was asleep. The child’s parents woke up at noon to find their 10-year-old child slaughtered.
The maid was arrested when she tried to escape through the house door after committing the crime. Police has launched an investigation.
A relative of the family said that the maid who committed the crime was single and not more than 30 years old. She had been working for this family for only a month and half. He also said that the maid’s sponsor, who was out of the country handed the maid to the Syrian family knowing that the family would treat the maid properly. It is reported that the child had memorized almost half the Holy Quran and has never skipped a prayer since she was 3.
A few weeks back, another similar murder shocked the kingdom where an Ethiopian maid slit the throat of the 6-year-old daughter of her sponsor.
*realise it is KSA but really

Probably the equivalent of 'she was a straight A student cut off in her prime' -- used in western media all the time.
Horrible story though.

It's either a way to show how good the girl was or a secretive questioning religion statement - where was her god to protect her?
Either way terrible story

Call me cynical, but something sounds strange there to me.

Am I the only one who finds the phrase 'Her sponsor handed her over to the Syrian family' distasteful. I know it's KSA, but until they get a grasp on the idea that slavery is an outmoded, and illegal idea outlawed by the U.N, which the saudi's are members of, incidents like this are likely to keep occuring. Still appalling, though.

Quite a ridiculous observation I must say, not surprised though that you picked that up!!
That statement has nothing to do with questioning the faith, it rather is similar to statement in a western media reporting the death of a young woman, for example, by saying ‘she was a beautiful young lady’. Both statements are talking about a beauty, the Muslim version is on about the beauty of the heart while the western version is on about the beauty of the body
