KUWAIT CITY, May 2 : A routine alert turned into a chilling investigation for Farwaniya security personnel after the Operations Room of the Ministry of Interior received a report that led them to a quiet apartment in the densely populated area of Jleeb Al-Shuyoukh. What unfolded behind the locked doors of the residence was a scene of unspeakable horror.

Responding officers arrived at the apartment and, after repeated unanswered knocks, grew suspicious of the silence within. With no response and mounting concern, authorities sought and received approval from the Public Prosecutor to forcibly enter the premises. Inside, they discovered the body of an Asian woman, lying lifeless with her veins slit in what appeared to be a deliberate and brutal act. Blood was found splattered across the hallway, bearing grim witness to the violence that had taken place. Further inspection of the apartment led officers to a second body — the woman’s husband. According to initial reports, he is believed to have taken his own life shortly after killing his wife.

Neighbors told police they had heard the couple engage in a loud and violent argument earlier that day. This was followed by the woman’s screams for help. However, despite their alarm, fear prevented any of them from intervening or contacting authorities in time. Investigations revealed that the couple were both Indian nationals and medical professionals — the woman in her 30s and the man in his 40s. The tragedy is made all the more jarring by the fact that both individuals had dedicated their careers to saving lives.

Sources confirmed their identities as Sooraj and Bincy, originally from Ernakulam, in the southern Indian state of Kerala. Sooraj was employed by Kuwait’s Ministry of Health, while Bincy worked for the Ministry of Defence. Reports indicate the couple had recently traveled to India to take their two children back to their homeland. They had returned to Kuwait just days before the fatal incident, leaving the children in the care of family members in India.

The Public Prosecutor, after visiting the scene, ordered forensic teams to collect evidence and fingerprints. The bodies have since been transferred to the Department of Forensic Medicine for further examination. The motive behind the apparent murder-suicide remains unclear, and authorities have launched a full-scale investigation to determine the circumstances that led to this devastating end. As the community reels from the shock, questions linger — not only about what could drive two professionals to such a tragic conclusion, but also about the silent cries that went unheard until it was too late.
