Household Service Worker Was Allegedly Beaten To Death By Her Employer

A Filipina Household Service Worker (HSW) was allegedly beaten to death by her employer on Jan 25, coincidentally on the same day that Filipina HSW Jakatia Pawa was hanged. Authorities identified the victim as Amy Capulong Santiago, 33 years old who arrived in Kuwait in August 2015.

Based on the initial findings of police authorities gathered by the Assistance to Nationals Unit (ATNU) at the Philippine Embassy from the Abdullah Al Mubarak Police Station, the sponsor rushed the victim to the Farwaniya Hospital at around 10:15 pm on January 25 but she was declared dead on arrival.

Findings from the Kuwait Directorate General of Criminal Evidence showed old and fresh bruises on various parts of her body, mostly on her back. “Yes, we actually we got the information from the Investigation Department, they saw some bruises on her body but again, it’s not yet official as they still have to include this in their report which has not yet been submitted to the prosecutor,” disclosed Philippine Vice Consul and ATNU Head Charleson Hermosura to the Arab Times on Monday.

The remains of the victim were referred to the Forensic Department on Jan 26 for further investigation to ascertain the cause of her death.
