Maybe she committed suicide Brit? Beat herself to death. And then cast a magic spell using sorcery to make the innocent employer confess to the crime, even though he's innocent.

Or maybe the police killed the maid to frame the employer and extracted a confession under duress.

There are many more scenarios that I could offer which are much more likely than the sorry story of an employer beating his asian maid to death.

I mean really, when was the last time you heard a story about an Adian maid being beaten to death by her employer in the Gulf. It simply never happens.
