Trial of MWDW charged with child killing postponed and two more Ethiopian women workers die

The Criminal Court of Beirut, under Judge Helena Iskandar, rescheduled to January 17, 2017, the trial of Ethiopian migrant domestic worker, Bozai, charged with the murder of child Celene Rakan. To recall, last Thursday’s session was devoted to hear the testimony of the building’s concierge where plaintiff, father of the victim, Yassir Rakan resides. Also called to testify, were, the doctor who examined the dead child during her transfer to the hospital and the forensic doctor who wrote the report, as well as the software engineer who transcribed the tapes of the house security cameras. However, as none of the above witnesses have shown up for the hearing, the court had to reschedule the hearing. On the other hand, and after less than one week of the suicide of an Ethiopian domestic worker in the Beirut suburb of Shiah, Al Mustaqbal newspaper reported on Sunday the death from charcoal burning of two Ethiopian nationals in their thirties. The bodies of the MWDWs have been found asphyxiated inside one of the rooms in Balat neighborhood of Byblos. A third roommate was transferred in critical condition to a local hospital, the newspaper said. As expected, a security squadron, coroner and a criminal investigative force arrived at the scene of the killing. (Al Mustaqbal, al Safir, 2&4 December, 2016)
