ShareKUWAIT: Police announced yesterday that an imam and muezzin were sent to the Public Prosecution for investigations in a fight involving the two and multiple other suspects reported recently. In his statements to police, the Lebanese imam said that the muezzin stormed his apartment in a Sabah Al-Salem building along with other persons, then attacked him and his two sons aged 16 and 15.
The muezzin, Egyptian, admitted engaging in a fight with the imam, saying that it was sparked by a verbal dispute, but denied allegations that he was joined by others in the brawl. Police arrested a number of people suspected of being involved in the fight, the Interior Ministry's Relations and Security Media Department said in a statement.
Missing family found
Kuwait Fire Services Directorate (KFSD) said firemen found a family missing in the Salmi desert. The family of five was reported missing, and Salmi fire station men responded and began a search. Two hours later, firemen found the mother and her two daughters walking, then an hour later the father and the third daughter were found in their car. All were in good health.
Helicopter received
Interior Ministry Assistant Undersecretary for operations affairs Maj Gen Hatem Al-Sayegh, accompanied by Acting Director General of the Central Operations Directorate Col Ahmad Al-Ateeqi and Director of Police Aviation Wing Col Salem Jassem Al-Shihab, witnessed the arrival of the second AS-365N3 helicopter to join the police aviation fleet. The craft arrived at Nawaf Al-Ahmad airbase, piloted by Col Bashar Al-Musaileem, in a journey that took four days from France. Sayegh said the craft has the ability to monitor roads from three kilometers and carry out backup missions for police men, in addition to rescue and assistance.
Deportee detained
Residency detectives arrested a European woman of Arab origin for attempting to enter the country despite being deported by criminal detectives. She obtained a new passport to be able to get an entry visa at the airport without a fingerprint, but was later caught and sent to the forensics department. Her fingerprints were taken and she was discovered to have been deported several times.
Fake cops caught
Three citizens were arrested in Farwaniya for posing as detectives and robbing expats. A security source said Farwaniya patrols had three persons under surveillance in Hasawi as they entered a building, but when they saw the police, they escaped on foot, but were caught. They confessed to robbing expats. They were also found to be ex-convicts in theft and drugs cases.
Detention extended
A judge extended the detention of a citizen who attacked an Egyptian, and asked he be brought to him after two weeks. The judge charged the suspect with causing severe harm to the victim Waheed Mahmoud, but the suspect denied it, saying he was defending himself. The prosecution will start investigations next week.
