Man arrested for slitting grandmother's throat in Kuwait
Forensic evidence leads to quick arrest in grandmother murder case
Kuwait City: A Kuwaiti man is accused of murdering his grandmother in Rumaithiya by slitting her throat, according to the Ministry of Interior.
The suspect, whose identity has not been disclosed, fled the scene but was apprehended shortly afterward by law enforcement in a swift operation.
Forensic teams at the scene found the murder weapon, a knife, near the victim's body, leading to an immediate investigative response.
Authorities, already alerted to the gruesome crime, mobilised specialised teams from the Criminal Investigations Department to track down and arrest the suspect.
Preliminary investigations revealed that the accused has a history of drug-related offenses, suggesting a troubled background that may have contributed to the violent act. He has since been detained and referred to the judicial system for prosecution.
