A Filipino domestic worker has allegedly been stabbed to death by her employer in Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia.
A friend named FireWood Fairudz Fernandez said in a Facebook post on Monday that her close friend Norkisah Lymanh had wanted to return home to the Philippines as her contract was about to end – but her employer would not allow her to leave.
Fernandez said the employer stabbed Lymanh to death but told police that she had killed herself. She said Lymanh’s corpse would be repatriated to Manila on May 14.
Fernandez said Lymanh was a good friend who had worked hard to provide for her family.
She said Lymanh’s employer did not allow her to use her mobile phone. She was only allowed to speak to her family in the Philippines when she sent them money.
On Lymanh’s passport she is listed as 26 years old (born in 1992). However, a statement issued by Dirab Police Station had Lymanh as 30, with her name spelt as “Nour Kishia”.
“His housemaid, NOUR KISHIA, age 30 years has stabbed herself by a knife (sic) to her chest inside the kitchen in their house,” the police report said.
Fernandez urged people to share her post in the hope it would reach the Philippine government.
So far, there have been no reports in the media about the maid’s death or statements from the Philippine Embassy.

arab people especially in Riyadh they are the worst people on earth
Ronnie Guevarra Esguerra di buong lugar ng uae tanga
I don’t think so that she killed herself…
Any one who want to commit suicide will not stab herself to death because you know how painful it will be, you can hang yourself or overdose a certain medicine but not this way…there is foul play on this matter, hoping she will find justice on her death.

Ronnie Guevarra Esguerra bakit sir d.h kaba para magsabing safe country dyan. huwag po kayo pakasiguro kasi hinde ninyo alam ang lahat ng kalagayan ng d.h dyan. At patunay po yong tita ko umuwi galing ng uae na may sakit tinubig ang baga. Alam mo ba ang dahilan? Pina patulog daw siya sa cemento wala syang kama. Wala pang isang buwan namatay na yong tita ko. Ngayon ipaliwanag mo kong pano naging safe dyan? Huwag ka masyado magmarunong dahil wala kang alam sa buhay ng mga d.h.
