An 11-year-old girl was stabbed to death in her home in Riyadh after an Ethiopian nanny attacked the girl and her brother while their parents were at work.

A source close to the family said the housemaid first stabbed the girl’s brother 14 times before he was able to escape and hide in the bathroom.
