The three women are Bayanah binti Banhawi (29), Jamilah binti Abidin Rofi`i alias Juariyah binti Idin Ropi`i, and Neneng Sunengsih binti Mamih (34), head of the National Agency for Placement and Protection of Indonesian Migrant Workers (BNP2TKI) Moh Jumhur Hidayat said in an e-mailed message received here Tuesday.
They escaped execution by beheading after the families of the persons they had allegedly killed had forgiven them or the murder accusations could not be proven, Jumhur said quoting information from Lisna Yoeliani Poeloengan, a member of the Migrant Workers Protection, Task Force who is now in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, together with the Task Force`s chairman, Maftuh Basyuni, and another Task Force member, Humphrey R Djemat.
The Task Force`s mission is to help save the lives of tens of Indonesian migrant workers facing the death penalty in Saudi Arabia.
Former president BJ Habibie is also in Riyadh with a special mission to save Tuti Tursilawasi, a migrant worker from West Java Province accused of killing her employer.
Bayanah would return home on December 27 with Basyuni, and is expected to arrive in Jakarta on Wednesday (Dec 28).
She began to work in Saudi in January 2006 and was accused of killing her employer`s four-year-old child. The mentally retarded child had broken her arm and was doused with hot water from the tap while Bayanah was changing the child`s diaper. After undergoing medical treatment for 12 days, the child died.
Bayanah received forgiveness from her employer for accidentally causing the child`s death and was fined 55,000 Reals. The fine was paid by the Indonesian embassy in Riyadh.
Jamilah is scheduled to return to Indonesia from Jidda on Wednesday (Dec 28) and will be accompanied by an official of the Indonesian Consulate General in Jidda.
Jamilah was accused of killing her employer, Salim Al Ruqi (80) but Salim`s son. Ali Seha Al Ruqi, forgave her before King Abdullah, and did not ask Jamilah to pay a fine.
Neneng is expected to return home next week pending the issuance of her "exit permit" involving her employer.
She was accused of causing the death of her employer`s four-month-old child while feeding the child with milk. The accusation could not be proven and she was freed without having to pay a fine.
