CAIRO/JEDDAH: An Egyptian man has confessed to killing a Saudi woman and her Kuwaiti daughter in a village outside Cairo, according to reports on Tuesday.
His wife, 31, and three brothers aged 47, 35 and 31 have admitted that they assisted him in the crime, including hiding the bodies of the woman, 60, and her daughter, 27, in a 22-meter-deep well.
The man, named only as Abdulwahab, reportedly told the police that he had convinced them to invest in his farm in Al-Menia district and that they had given him 400,000 Egyptian pounds (SR191,534). He had worked for them in Kuwait as a driver.
The woman and her daughter reportedly went to Cairo on Aug. 27 and were scheduled to return to Kuwait in September before they went missing. The village where they were found is 240 km from Cairo.
The Kuwaiti daughter had sent out a message to her friend in Kuwait via social media saying that she was kidnapped. The police were able to use the information to determine their location.
