An Indian man has been arrested as a prime suspect in the killing of a three-member Kuwaiti family at their residence in Al Ardiya.
The man was apprehended in Sulaibiya after being spotted by CCTV cameras installed in the surrounding residences, it was revealed.
The victims, an 80-year-old man, his 50-year-old wife and their 18-year-old daughter were discovered dead at their house, each with multiple stab wounds from a sharp weapon.
Their maid, who worked at their home part-time, was initially apprehended by the authorities, but was later released.
Security officials had earlier ruled out theft after gold and other valuables were found intact at the property, but later discovered that gold and KD300 in cash were missing.
The crime was discovered by the woman's brother who discovered the bodies at their home, a security source said, and initial investigations revealed that the crime had occurred four days earlier.
The suspect has been transported to the competent authorities and faces premeditated murder charges, the Interior Ministry said.
