A 26-year-old Kuwaiti citizen tortured his four-year old daughter to death and kept the body in a new

week before the parents (suspect and his wife) were arrested.

received information that a Kuwaiti citizen had killed his four-year old
daughter few days earlier and kept the body in a flat in Hawalli area.
