Filipino maid raped by Saudi employer dies in hospital...

An overseas Filipino worker (OFW) in Saudi Arabia who was allegedly raped by her employer has died, an official said.

Filipina Irma Avila Edloy, 35, passed away Friday, Philippine Labor Secretary Silvestre Bello said over radio dzMM.

Forensic investigation is ongoing to determine the cause of Edloy's death.

Edloy was rushed to King Salman Hospital in Riyadh earlier in the week due to severe injuries from suspected sexual assault. She lapsed into a coma soon after arriving at the hospital.

Bello said Edloy had implicated her employer in the assault. Prior to becoming unconscious, while she did not say outright that her employer sexually assaulted her, she pointed to her employer when asked by a nurse who had maltreated her. Full story...
