MANILA, Philippines — The remains of overseas Filipino worker Jullebee Ranara, whose burnt body was found in a desert in Kuwait, will be brought home on Friday night, the Department of Foreign Affairs said.

In a press briefing on Thursday, DFA said Ranara’s former employers will be shouldering expenses for the repatriation of her remains. The 17-year-old son of Ranara’s employers, suspect behind her death, has since been under the custody of local authorities.

The 35-year-old domestic helper’s burnt body was found in the desert over the weekend, Kuwaiti media reported. Arab Times Online reported that Ranara’s autopsy showed she was pregnant at the time of her death, but local authorities are still investigating the incident.
