| Prostitution triggered murder of Srilankan woman |
| KUWAIT CITY : Securitymen from the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) in the Capital Governorate have arrested three Asians suspected of killing a Sri Lankan woman, whose body was found in the sea behind the Maternity Hospital in Al-Sabah two days ago. Reportedly, one of the suspects is a driver transporting nurses to Al-Sabah Hospital, the other works at Amghara scrapyard and the third had allegedly absconded from his sponsor. Speaking to the Arab Times, security sources said Assistant Undersecretary for Public Security Affairs Brigadier General Ghazi Al-Omar had instructed security authorities to track down the murderers of a Sri Lankan woman, whose decomposed body was found dumped in the sea. In compliance with Al-Omar’s instructions, Manager of the Capital Governorate CID Lieutenant Colonel Bader Al-Ghadouri formed a team to conduct an intensive investigation into the killing. According to Forensics, the body belonged to a Sri Lankan woman, identified as Fatema Radhwan, born in 1978. Investigators discovered a telephone line registered under her name. Upon checking the calls the woman made in the last few days, police found the number of an Indian laborer in Amghara scrapyard. During interrogation, the Indian laborer admitted he knew the killer and guided police to another Indian residing in Jleeb Al-Shuyoukh, which led to the arrest of the second suspect and a Sri Lankan woman. Sources said the victim lived with the three suspects in the same flat and were engaged in prostitution. Disagreements over the revenues of the ‘flesh’ trade had allegedly triggered the killing. Sources added the victim threatened to inform the authorities about the illegal business if the three suspects did not give her share in the revenues. While the victim was sleeping, the suspects stabbed her to death, wrapped her body in a blanket and dumped her into the sea in an attempt to get rid of any proof of the crime. Sources added the suspects tied a rock to the victim’s body to keep it submerged in the sea but members of an environment protection group found the body. Police also found the murder weapon and investigations are ongoing in this regard. Security sources revealed the Indian, who stabbed the victim, works as a driver transporting nurses to Al-Sabah Hospital. The second suspect, another Indian who helped kill the victim, works in Amghara scrapyard while the Sri Lankan woman is registered missing at the Immigration Department as she had run away from her sponsor. |
