KUWAIT: Despite warnings by Kuwait Fire Services Directorate to avoid using coal heaters in enclosed areas, some people are still not heeding the warnings, as the case was at a Mutlaa farm, where an expat died of carbon monoxide poisoning and another was found in critical condition. A citizen told police that his farmworkers were not responding to his calls, so he went to the farm, broke open the door open and found them on the ground. Paramedics found one person dead, while the other was taken unconscious to Sabah Hospital by medevac.

Arson attack

A policeman at the central prison accused an inmate jailed on charges of drug use of torching his luxury car along with his brother's in front of their house in Abdullah Al-Mubarak after he refused to help him smuggle illicit substances. The policeman woke up at dawn to find his car worth KD 30,000 in flames, so he called police and firemen. His accusations were based on earlier threats by the inmate, and detectives are investigating.
