KUWAIT CITY, Jan 10: Police are looking for an unidentified person for hacking to death a 36-year-old Kuwaiti woman with a cleaver, reports Al-Qabas daily.
According to security sources the incident took place in front of a well-known commercial complex overlooking Bneid Al-Gar.
The daily added when police received information about the murder, personnel from the Criminal Evidences Department rushed to the spot and found the corpse lying in a pool of blood. The remains have been referred to Forensics.
According to eyewitness reports the incident happened at late evening. The victim left the complex and it is believed she was walking to her car when the suspect waiting in an American car quietly walked up to her and attacked her with the cleaver and escaped.
Surprisingly none of the eyewitnesses had the presence of mind to note down the number plate of the suspect’s vehicle.
Police investigations reveal the victim, whose identity has not been disclosed, is the ex-wife of a bedoun (who has lately obtained the Canadian nationality).
She had filed a case against the man at the Faiha Police Station accusing him of several times threatening to kill her.
