Al-Anbaa" website, citing a security source, revealed some updates about the death of the Filipino domestic worker, "Janelle Villavende", who was killed by her employer after being beaten severely.
The source said that the investigations carried out by a senior criminal security leader with the accused, who is a housewife and her husband, an old military man, revealed that the accused had precedents in assaulting the maids and that her husband took advantage of his influence and relationships so that his wife was not criminally prosecuted in similar cases.
The source indicated that the defendant’s husband’s attempted to interfere in the conduct of the investigations, which prompted the criminal security sector to transfer the case file to the headquarters of the General Department of Criminal Investigation for impartial investigation, pointing out that the Forensic Report stated that what was spotted on the body of the Filipino worker was an attack on Periods and it is likely that this attack was the cause of her death.
The exact date of her death is unknown as the results of the autopsy were pending, but her employers have been arrested as the primary suspects in the case.
Philippine authorities slammed Villavende's death, describing it as a "clear violation" of the agreement signed by both Kuwait and the Philippines in 2018.
The agreement – which came at the end of a diplomatic crisis over the gruesome murder of OFW Joanna Demafelis – seeks to uphold the protection of the rights and welfare of Filipino workers in the Gulf state.
After the death of yet another OFW in Kuwait, DOLE announced it was set to issue a partial deployment ban to the country where over 240,000 Filipinos are currently employed, half of whom are female domestic workers
