MUSCAT: A woman leapt to her death from the fifth floor of a
building near Barka roundabout on Friday evening.
The victim was identified as an unskilled worker from
Ethiopia working as housemaid for the last few months in Barka.
“It happened at around 7:45pm. We heard a noise of something
falling near the Bank Sohar branch building. We found the victim’s body on top
of a car parked in front of the building. Later, police came and cleared the
body from the scene,” an eyewitness said.
Royal Oman Police (ROP) sources told Times of Oman that they
have initiated a probe into the incident.
Sources told Times of Oman that the victim was working as a
housemaid for the last four months at one of the offices in the building where
she leapt to death.
Youth’s body found
Meanwhile, a youngster’s body was found behind one of the
