Ethiopian Maid Critically Wounds Pregnant Woman, Kills Unborn Child

An Ethiopian domestic worker on Tuesday stabbed her pregnant 27-year-old employer Isaaf Khashfeh in the Chouf town of Barja, leaving her critically wounded and killing her unborn child.

The maid dealt Isaaf several stabs before stabbing herself and trying to jump off the balcony, the National News Agency said.

At that moment town residents rushed to the house to find the pregnant employer soaked in her own blood, reports said. They eventually captured the wounded maid and handed her over to security forces as Isaaf was rushed to the Sibline Hospital in critical condition.

Reports said the maid had sent an SMS to a relative in Ethiopia informing them of her intentions.
