KUWAIT: Following up the case of a Lebanese woman who beat her elderly mother to death in Kaifan, Al-Rai local daily interviewed her grandmother in Lebanon, who she said the suspect had always been beating her mother, although she suffered from diabetes and hypertension. The grandmother also said that her late daughter was married at the age of 18 and that she gave birth to her eldest daughter (the killer) 39 years ago when she and her husband came to Kuwait. She also said that the last time she saw her daughter was four years ago on a visit to Lebanon. Meanwhile, the murderer reenacted her crime in the presence of detectives, added security sources, noting that the suspect was crying and denied any intention to kill her 'dear' mother, but stressed that she loved her father (who died a year ago) more because he was closer to her. However, interrogating the maid working for the family, she stressed that the daughter had always assaulted her mother and that the mother feared her.
