Ras Al Khaimah: An African maid committed suicide on Tuesday in Al Rams area leaving a note addressed to her mother asking for her prayers.

The 26-year-old Ethiopian maid identified as A.S hanged herself to death with a rope fixed to the ceiling of a toilet at the house of her Emirati sponsor.

Police have started an investigation into the case. Captain Ahmad Abdullah, Acting Head of Al Rams Police Station said they received a report from the sponsor who was shocked to find her maid hanging.

Police found a letter written by the maid herself. She did not mention a reason for committing suicide.

Surprising

Captain Abdullah said the investigations clearly showed that the maid did not have any motive to commit suicide.

The suicide of the maid was surprising for the sponsor who testified that her maid never demanded anything and that she led a normal life. The case was referred to the Public Prosecution.
