JEDDAH: Police in Jeddah have arrested a Yemeni national for allegedly killing an Ethiopian woman within 24 hours of her body being found in the Al-Salama district of Jeddah on Friday.
Police received reports about a woman’s naked body lying next to a four-story building. It was thought the woman might have fallen from the fourth floor of the building where she lived with her family.
Police said the woman had come for Haj and was residing in the Kingdom illegally. Authorities had ruled out the possibility of the woman committing suicide as the body was found unclothed.
Investigations revealed that the woman was involved in an illegal relationship with a Yemeni national.
The Yemeni man was arrested in a south Jeddah district. On questioning, the man told police he threw the woman from her top floor balcony following an argument.
The Yemeni man has been living and working in the Kingdom legally for over 10 years.
