A housemaid accused of putting urine in a family’s tea did it because a friend said it would make the employers like her, Dubai Court of Misdemeanours was told.

The 26-year-old Indonesian went on trial yesterday accused of endangering the lives of the family. “One day I was speaking with another housemaid and she told me to urinate on the floor and put it in the family food and tea and then they would treat me well and wouldn’t abandon me. I was putting a spoon of urine in the tea before serving it. I did it seven times.”

And the moral of this story is - be kind to your maid, if you are luck enough to have one.
