A maid who was thrown out of her sponsor's house stood in the road waiting for a car to run her over, a court heard.
"Yes, I meant to end my life by standing in the street," the maid, AM, 24, from Ethiopia, told the Misdemeanour Court.
She said she decided to kill herself after her sponsor refused to pay her for three months' work.
The maid claimed she did not know the address of the villa at which she worked, but was thrown out on September 10 after her sponsor complained about her work the previous day.
She asked for her salary for the previous three months to be sent to her family in Ethiopia, but was told her sponsor did not have the money. After being kicked out, she had nowhere to go and did not know how to reach the agency that brought her to the UAE. Full story...
