According to Gulf News... On Thursday, a Filipina, a domestic helper, was killed reportedly by the couple employing her. According to reports, the Kuwaiti employer confessed that she and her husband maltreated the maid on a daily basis. Fearing that the maid would die, they took her to a deserted area and crushed her under their vehicle to give the impression that she was had been run over by a motorist...

Barbaric Sadly this type of thing doesn't just happen in Kuwait as we all know!

Yes very sad indeed.
It takes some sort of a mad person to do this type of thing.

omg, that's awful...

our next door but one neighbours are kuwaiti...they have 3 maids (who have to share one tiny room) plus a driver, and they aren't allowed out of the house on their own or a day off...beggars belief...

MM, xx

3 Maids !!! wow must be a mansion.
Really are these people so lazy that they require so many staff, and they work long hours, very little money and then treated like Shxt.

lol...it's not, it's the same size as my villa...god knows what the maids do, think one cooks, the others look after the kids, maybe one is the night maid...madness...

MM, xx

i don't understand why they treat the maid like shit then trust them with their kids. No wonder they are all so f'd up.

there is very little logic behind anything that happens in the middle east...

really?? thats an absolute disgrace, I mean legally he can't do that but christ almighty, sounds like a proper piece of work.

My missus got offered a really good job in Kuwait, but I don't fancy living over there like.

yeah a mansion

The Middle East (in general) still retains a slave holder mentality. They think nothing off treating people from certain races/nationalities/skin colour like property.

Read a BBC article on how Iraqis descended from Black servants and slaves are still to this day called "Abd", which in Arabic means servant or slave. During the last Israel-Hez war, the BBC was reporting on how Asian labourers were forced to work in the fields by Israelis even as Hezbollah was shooting off rockets. The BBC also mentioned that in Lebanon, Asian workers and housemaids were racially mistreated/abused and the war worse on them because many of the locals didn't care a whit about helping them.
