KUWAIT CITY, April 4: Criminal Evidence Department officials arrested a 17-year-old girl who had escaped from police custody in connivance with a police officer on Friday, say sources.
The girl’s family had reported her ‘missing’ five months ago and securitymen recently found her and put her in custody from where she had escaped.
However, Criminal Evidence Department officials managed to find her at her relative’s house in Hawalli within 48 hours of her escape and brought her back to the department.
During interrogations, the girl admitted that she lured the police officer into having a physical relationship with him and they managed to do so in the women’s bathroom of the police station. She then allegedly threatened to inform all others if he did not help her escape from the prison.
The frightened officer then secretly took her in his vehicle and left her in Riggae from where she took a taxi and went to Hawalli.
Investigations are going on and both involved will go through forensic examination, say sources.
The police officer is still in custody. Incidentally, the girl admitted that the officer was very embarrassed and seemed ashamed of himself during the act.
Minister of Interior Sheikh Jaber Al-Khaled and acting Undersecretary are following the case, say sources.
