A Kuwaiti girl stabbed herself with a kitchen knife just after she was told her ill mother died, a newspaper has said.
The girl was at home when she was told by relatives that her mother died in hospital after a long illness, Al Anba said.
“She rushed to the kitchen, got a knife and stabbed herself in the abdomen… she was rushed to the hospital where doctors managed to save her,” the paper said.
Doctors said the girl was admitted to the hospital in a serious condition after she stabbed herself twice because she could not bear the shock of her mother’s death.
