Police had apprehended the housemaid’s female employer after the Ethiopian woman arrived dead at Jahra Hospital on Friday. The woman was questioned after head injuries and beat marks were noticed on the victim’s body. Investigations revealed yesterday that the perpetrator was the woman’s 15-year-old son. According to investigators, the boy brutal- ly attacked the maid under the pretext that she left the family’s house without permission. The circumstances behind the maid’s escape and return to her employer’s house are still unknown. The teen’s mother is also expected to face charges for covering up the crime. Meanwhile, a security source said vice detectives raided a jakhour (animal pen) where homosexual parties for both genders were being organized. The source said that 32 men and women were arrested in the pen in Kabd. Liquor and women’s clothing were also confiscated. Separately, two more suspects - a Syrian and a Kuwaiti - were arrested in connection with an armed robbery in which two Indian security guards were killed at the vegetable market in Sulaibiya last month. The arrests were made after the first suspect, a Syrian man, gave police the identity and location of his accomplices. The prime suspect, a bedoon man, remains at large. Investigations with the two Syrians revealed that they were born stateless but later obtained Syrian nationality. The Kuwaiti man said during questioning that his involvement in the case was limited to keeping the money stolen during the crime after one of the Syrian men handed the cash over to him. The Syrians confirmed that they were present at the crime scene. They said that the bedoon man fired all the 36 rounds in the maga- zine of an AK-47 at the victims. Both victims were Indian nationals - Sharangdharan was killed on the spot while his colleague Muhammad Rashid Thangal died shortly after arriving at Farwaniya Hospital. Detectives reportedly escorted the three suspects to the KUWAIT: Pigeons gather around a roadside sprinkler to cool off yesterday. — Photo by Yasser Al-Zayyat scene to reenact the crime.
