Businessman questioned on suspicions of swindling KD 20 million

KUWAIT: Three youths killed their friend over a personal dispute in Kabd Saturday night. The murder was committed in the desert, as one of the suspects lured the victim by inviting him to meet to bury the hatchet. An informed source said the suspects stabbed the victim, and when he attempted to escape, they chased him in their vehicle and ran over him several times. The sources said two of the suspects almost fled Kuwait, but detectives were able to arrest them before they boarded the aircraft.
