KUWAIT CITY, Dec 29: The Public Prosecution has intensified investigations into two high-profile murder cases that shocked the nation. A citizen accused of shooting a fellow Kuwaiti in Jabriya and a Filipina domestic worker alleged to have killed her sponsor’s infant by placing him in a washing machine remain in custody. Both individuals are expected to face charges of premeditated murder following reenactments of the crimes. A security source revealed that the suspect in the Jabriya shooting admitted during questioning that disputes with the victim motivated the fatal act. The shooting, which occurred on Friday afternoon, involved three bullets fired from a pistol, two of which proved fatal. The perpetrator later surrendered to authorities.

Meanwhile, the Filipina domestic worker is accused of killing her sponsor’s infant son, born in 2023, on Thursday evening in Sabah Al-Salem. During interrogation, the accused claimed mistreatment by her employers drove her to commit the act as an act of revenge.
