Indonesian maid served tea laced with `pee` to sponsor, family in UAE

Dubai -  A housemaid in UAE has been accused of urinating in the teakettle of her sponsor’s family and endangering their lives by serving them  from the same pot.

The 26-year-old Indonesian housemaid, D.R., reportedly believed that her pee would enchant them to treat her better.

Records also revealed that she served the urine-laced tea to the family seven times in the month of April.

However, when the defendant appeared before the Dubai Misdemeanour Court on Tuesday, she failed to admit or deny her accusation due to the absence of a translator.

When enquired by the judge on what language she spoke, D.R. confidently said that she speak Arabic.

However, the case has been adjourned until an Indonesian translator is made available on July 8.

But upon being enquired by the prosecutors, as to if she had urinated in the teapot of her Emirati sponsor family, she admitted doing so.

“Yes, I peed in the tea that I served them nearly seven times last April. My sponsor’s wife was constantly complaining...once I met my countrywoman and asked her for advice to make my

sponsor and his family treat me better and love me more. She advised me to pee in the bathtub of my sponsor’s washroom and urinate in the tea before serving it to them. I did so nearly

seven times until I got exposed. When the wife confronted me, I told her what I did. I used to urinate in a cup inside my washroom and then would go and pour some of the urine in her

bathroom,” the housemaid said.

The maid alleged that she used to put around a teaspoon of her pee in the teakettle before serving the tea to her sponsor, his wife and her brother, who drank the tea.

Meanwhile, the Emirati sponsor claimed that he reported his maid to the police after he discovered four pools of urine in the washroom on different occasions.

“Every time I asked her about the pool of urine, she denied any responsibility. However, on the day when I was taking her to the police in my car, she admitted that she had peed in the

bathroom and tea kettle to enchant us and treat her better,” he said.
