Saudi national handed death penalty for beating to death a Bangladeshi woman

A criminal court in Riyadh on Sunday handed a Saudi national the death penalty for the murder of a Bangladeshi domestic worker, in a rare trial exposing the abuse of migrant workers in the kingdom.

Abiron Begum Ansar, a 40-year-old domestic worker, was found dead in Riyadh in March 2019 after being beaten to death by her employers.

Her family said Ansar’s body was “unrecognisable” when it was repatriated back to Bangladesh seven months later.
