KUWAIT CITY: A Kuwaiti father was taken into custody by police after he admitted to murdering his 4-year old daughter and hiding her body in the freezer. 

According to details, Salem Bouhan, 26, killed his 4-year old daughter Isra by beating her up with an electric wire and pouring hot water over her. The body of the 4-year old girl, when recovered, contained burnt marks on her shoulders and legs. 

Bouhan, who has three other children, told the police at first that he was a drug addict and that his daughter had died after consuming one of his pills. However, he later revealed to the police how he had beaten her with an electric wire and poured hot water over her. Afterwards, he had gone to the market and bought a freezer to hide Isra's body in it. 

Police were tipped off that a murder might have taken place at a flat in the Salamiya area of Kuwait City. Investigators stated that Salem's wife was also an accomplice in the murder of their daughter and that the two were also drug addicts. Salem had been fired from his job a couple of days ago for showing up to work in an abnormal state.

Investigators also claimed that the parents were extremely negligent in bringing up their children. Their apartment was also dirty and disorganized.
