Filipina domestic worker's body found decomposed in Kuwait

The body of a Filipina domestic helper who went missing two months ago has been discovered in an advanced state of decomposition at the home of a Kuwaiti national.

According to the Department of Migrant Workers, the victim's sibling reported the incident to the police leading to the discovery of the remains.

Public prosecutors are set to charge a couple with concealing premeditated murder after the body was recovered from their garden in Saad Al-Abdullah, Jahra.

Over the past years, several Filipino workers have faced tragic deaths in Kuwait, including Jullebee Ranara and Joanna Demafelis, leading to a deployment ban that was lifted after negotiations.

Various agencies including the Department of Migrant Workers (DMW) and the Overseas Workers Welfare Administration (OWWA) are expected to meet soon regarding this case.

The suspect's relationship with the victim and the timeline of her death remain unclear as investigations continue.

The DFA assured the public that bilateral relations between the Philippines and Kuwait will not be affected by these incidents.
