But Col. Abdullah Al-Garni, spokesman of Asir police, said the maid died of natural causes.
“Preliminary investigations have shown that the maid’s death was natural and no criminal motives involved,” he said.
The emergency section of Asir Central Hospital received the woman’s body on Sunday evening, an informed source said, adding that the body was bought in a car by three unidentified young men.
After examining the body, doctors at the hospital said they could not find any signs of physical or sexual abuse on the body, which was later transferred to the mortuary of Abha General Hospital.
Saeed Al-Naqeer, spokesman of health affairs in the province, did not give any details about the maid.
“Our department’s role is over with the issuance of the medical report after examining the maid’s body,” he said.
According to source, the maid’s file has been handed over to the Indonesian Consulate in Jeddah.
The maid’s body was found after the murder of Kikim Komalasari, 34, by her sponsor last month. Komalasari’s murder has been widely publicized in local and Indonesian media. Later, Muaimin Askandar, Indonesian minister of manpower and transmigration, visited the Kingdom and met with his Saudi counterpart Adel Fakieh.
Hendrar Pramutyo, a senior Indonesian diplomat entrusted with the task of citizens' protection, said: “The two sides have also agreed to provide insurance to cover Indonesian workers deployed in the Kingdom.”
Pramutyo said that Muhaimin also met with Ahmed bin Mohammed Al-Salem, undersecretary at the Ministry of Interior, and sought his support, especially for protecting Indonesian domestic helpers and prosecuting erring Saudi employers.
