Maid dies in escape bid

Arab News, Jan 4(?), 2009

Maid dies in escape bid: A 20-year-old Indonesian housemaid died while making a vain attempt to escape from her sponsor’s house in Hawalli, reports Al-Rai daily.
The victim tried to climb down from her sponsor’s fifth floor flat by holding to a ‘rope’ she made by tying bed sheets together, but the rope snapped and she fell down, leading to her instantaneous death.
