Lt Col. A'aref Al Kazz, from the RAK Police CID, said that the mother of the victim had received two Bangladeshi workers from a RAK-based Home Maintenance Company in the morning to do some repair work in her house.
She left the home with one of the workers to buy some materials that were required for doing the repair work while the other worker, a 20-year-old, stayed behind, with her daughter.
