Saudi Arabia executed a female domestic helper from the Philippines found guilty of murder, the Asian nation’s Department of Foreign Affairs said.
Bloomberg reports that the 39-year-old domestic worker was sentenced to death by the Saudi Supreme Judicial Council and executed on Jan. 29, the department said.
“The department regrets that it was not able to save the life of the Filipina,” it said. Legal assistance was provided during her trial, it said. The department is withholding other details upon the request of the relatives of the deceased.
This week’s execution came months after an Indonesian maid was also sentenced to death in Saudi Arabia for allegedly killing her employer after he tried to rape her.
