A Sri Lankan housemaid killed her Filipina colleague by severely beating her up following a heated argument at their employer’s house at Fujairah in UAE.

Police opened an investigation after the Filipina was brought dead to hospital and doctors said the death was a result of beating.

The Sri Lankan maid later confessed to beating her colleague after an argument about work at their employer’s house, according to 'Al Bayan’ daily newspapers.

“The Filipina was brought dead to the hospital and examination showed she had bruises all over her body.

“She was also suffering from weakness and leanness in her body,” ‘Al Bayan’ daily said without identifying the two maids.
