Dubai maid found dead, another injured in horror knife fight

A Dubai-based maid is dead and another seriously injured after a bloody fight between the pair involving knives and skewers, UAE daily The National reported on Tuesday.

Cops found the two Ethiopian women lying in a pool of blood in the laundry room of a villa in the Bur Dubai district of the city on Monday.

Brig Khalil Al Mansouri, head of Dubai Police CID, told the newspaper his officers had to break into the room as it had been locked from the inside.

"They were transferred to hospital but one of them died on the way, while the other was put in the intensive-care unit," he added.

It’s not known what caused the fight between the two women, who worked in the same house and there had been no previous fights between the two, the report added.

But Al Mansouri said other staff working in the house had told  his officers that the survivor was ‘paranoid’, adding she always ‘thought everyone was trying to oppress her".
