A babysitter was arrested, charged and convicted of murder after killing her employer’s baby because she didn’t allow her to attend her mother’s funeral, prosecutors in the United Arab Emirates said.
The woman identified as 29-year-old R. T., was convicted of murder at the Dubai Criminal Court, after being accused of taking a scarf and strangling the 11-month-old baby of her employer.
The mother of the child, identified as 36-year-old F. K., told the court that she treated the babysitter as her own sister. Several weeks before the murder, she and the babysitter celebrated her birthday with gifts and ice cream.
Prosecutors said that the woman confessed to killing the baby after F. K. refused to let her travel to the funeral of her mother because she had no one else to care for her child. On the day of the murder, R. T. waited for her employer to leave the home for work before killing the baby by choking him with a scarf. The babysitter then called the mother, saying that the child is having difficulties breathing. The mother came home and transported the baby to a nearby hospital, where he died two hours later. A coroner ruled that the baby died of strangulation
