An Ethiopian woman convicted of killing a Saudi child was executed on Monday, the Ministry of Interior said.
In a statement, the ministry said Zamzam Abdullah Boreek was put to death after a trial court’s “guilty” verdict was affirmed by the higher courts.
The accused slashed the girl’s throat “and left her in the bathroom until she died,” the ministry said, without giving a motive for the crime or stating the Ethiopian’s occupation and when the murder happened. Many Ethiopians work as domestic helpers in the Kingdom.
