The father of the girl, a 26-year-old Kuwaiti citizen and his wife tortured their four-year old daughter to death and kept the body in a new freezer to conceal the crime.
The corpse remained in the freezer for one week before the parents (suspect and his wife) were arrested.
According to Arab Times, a security source said security men 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.
Acting on information, detectives conducted the necessary investigation and arrested the victim’s father.
