The body of an Ethiopian worker was found in Hadath

Following the news on our website of three suicide cases by migrant domestic workers since the start of this year, the local media yesterday reported the discovery of a body of an Ethiopian MWDW in her thirties in the Hadath suburb of Beirut. The body was found on the fourth floor of a residential apartment building in the area. As per usual, the security squads arrived at the scene for investigation and the body was examined by a forensic doctor before being transferred by the Civil Defense to Baabda Government Hospital.
