Maid in UAE jailed for adding urine to employer's tea

A maid in the UAE who added urine to her employer's tea has been jailed for two months, Dubai newspaper 7Days reported.

The 26-year-old Indonesian housemaid was found guilty of endangering the life of a family by the Dubai Court of Misdemeanours.

The maid carried out the crime in order to make the family like her, records say.

“The wife was always complaining at me. Another housemaid told me to put urine on the floor and in the family’s food and tea as it would make them treat me well,” the housemaid said in records.

“I used to put a spoonful of urine in the tea before serving it to the family. I did this seven times in a month.”

According to the report, her actions were discovered after her Jordanian employer found spilled urine in his son’s bathroom.

“We asked her about it but she denied knowing anything. We thought that it belonged to my little boy but later on we found more urine. It was smelly,” official records quote him as saying.

“I took her to police station. On the way there she confessed she was spreading her urine on the floor. She even said that she put it in the tea that she served to us.”
