JAKARTA, Indonesia – Jakarta called Monday (March 24) for a Saudi family to accept a substantial payment and halt the impending execution of Indonesian maid Satinah Binti Jumadi Ahmad, on death row for murder, AFP reported.

Officials in Jakarta expect Satinah, sentenced in 2011 for murdering her employer's wife and stealing money, to be executed in early April unless the victim's family accepts the money offered and forgives her.

However, Indonesian Deputy Foreign Minister Wardana told reporters that contributions from the government and maid protection groups had raised only Riyal 4m ($1.1m) of the required Riyal 7m ($1.9m) thus far. "It is now in the hands of the victim's family," Wardana said.

The Indonesian government managed to delay her execution five times since her conviction, officials said. Satinah is one of 45 Indonesian migrant workers on death row in Saudi Arabia, according to the Jakarta Globe.
