Lankan maid alleges thieves raped her February 21 2012

Three young Emirati men have been arrested by Sharjah Police for allegedly raping a housemaid and stealing valuables from homes.  

The Sri Lankan domestic help was alone when the suspects visited the home in Sharjah with the intention to steal. However, on seeing the woman alone they allegedly raped her.  

The three accused, aged between 19 and 21, have been referred to the Sharjah Public Prosecution.  

Recalling the incident, the house owner said he was surprised to find the maid extremely frightened and disturbed when he returned home on that fateful day. “She was crying and it took me a long time to calm her down. She told me that three strangers had entered the home and two among them raped her.”  

He immediately informed the police. The CID team of Sharjah Police set into action and the three suspects were arrested with a few hours. The trio confessed to robbing several homes.  

Cops confiscated several stolen items from their residence.
