Kuwaiti woman gets death sentence for killing Filipina maid

Thursday, December 31, 2020

The criminal court sentenced a Kuwaiti woman death by hanging for torturing and killing her Filipino housemaid on Dec 28, 2019. The woman’s husband was sentenced to four years in jail for covering up and not reporting the crime.

According to report, Philippine Ambassador to Kuwait Mohd Noordin Pendosina Lomondot rendered his heartfelt thanks to the Kuwaiti government and to Sheikha Fawzia who fought for the justice that the Filipina surely deserves.

It can be recalled that the Philippines was rocked with the news of Villavende’s brutal passing last year. Her death aroused anger among fellow Filipinos and prompted the implementation of the deployment ban to Kuwait.
