The body of an Indian worker who was murdered by a female Ethiopian coworker last month was flown home on Thursday night.

Syed Sajid, a native of Golkonda in India, had been working with a Saudi family in Dammam for two years and was murdered on Feb. 17 by an Ethiopian woman who worked with the same family in the Dammam Corniche area.

Police in the Eastern Province have arrested the killer and charged her with Sajid’s murder.

Sajid’s body was flown home on an Emirates Airline flight on Thursday night.

Indian Embassy officials and social worker Naaz Vankkam visited the Dammam Central Hospital on Thursday prior to Sajid’s repatriation, according to sources.

Repatriation procedures were delayed because of the postmortem examination of the body and paperwork that had to be gone through at the Indian Embassy in Riyadh.

“We have full confidence and trust in the Saudi judicial system,” said Syed Mohsin, one of Sajid’s relatives in India. Mohsin made this statement to Arab News on Friday after receiving Sajid’s body.
