KUWAIT CITY, May 8: An Egyptian woman reportedly murdered her compatriot husband by hitting him with a hammer while he was asleep inside their apartment in Khaitan.

Shortly after the incident, the suspect went to her compatriot neighbor where she left an infant daughter under the pretext that she was going for an assignment and would soon be back to pick up the baby.

Few hours later, she sent a message to the neighbor informing her that she travelled to Egypt and somebody else will get the baby from her.

The neighbor said the woman sent her other children home two days prior to the incident and found it difficult to take the infant with her.

Two days later, foul odor was emanating from the apartment so the other tenants in the building called the Operations Room and police officers arrived at the scene with a warrant from the Public Prosecution.

When they broke the door open, they found the man’s corpse on the floor with blood flowing from his head. The first glance showed that the man was hit on the head by a hammer and his corpse was referred to Forensics for autopsy
