Police Authorities Arrested The Male Employer While His Wife Surrendered At Police Station

Police authorities arrested the male employer while his wife surrendered at the Abdullah Al Mubarak Police station.

The two are now detained and under investigation by authorities to determine whether there was foul play or not on the death of Santiago. “We have already contacted the spouse of the victim in the Philippines and informed him of the demise of his wife. We would like to express our deepest condolences to the family of Amy Capulong Santiago.

Rest assured that we will get to the bottom of this and know the cause of her death,” pointed out Hermosura. With the recent hanging of Pawa and death of Santiago, the call for a moratorium or the temporary suspension on the deployment of HSWs to Kuwait is mounting as various OFW advocacy groups take the campaign to Facebook and other social media.

There are around 250,000 Filipinos working in Kuwait and around 158,000 of whom are household service workers. The number of distressed OFWs continues to rise as Filipino workers who are mostly HSWs run to the embassy to seek refuge from their abusive employers.

With almost 500 Filipino workers who are victims of verbal, physical or sexual abuse, Kuwait has the highest number of distressed OFWs housed in the POLOOWWA Shelter and Kuwait Migrant Workers Shelter in the Middle East.
