Quoted by local newspapers, they said several items had also been stolen from the apartment, adding that their Asian servant could have killed them after they discovered his robbery.

The girl had sold her iPhone and was surprised when the employee, who managed to recover the deleted data, started blackmailing her.

Actress begs for deportation to be cancelled A 22-year-old non-Kuwaiti actress, identified only as L, has appealed to senior officials in the Ministry of Interior and human rights organizations to intervene and save her life by canceling a deportation order issued against her, reports Al-Anba daily.

The actress, whose nationality has not been disclosed, said her father and cousins were against her acting career and that they will kill her as soon as she reaches her homeland.

She added that she was summoned to Sulaibiya Police Station in a civil case filed by a company and that she was ready to solve the problem. However, she was shocked on learning that her husband, a Syrian, cancelled her residency last September without her knowledge. She said this in itself is a violation of the law because she is not divorced. The actress said it was a trap laid by her husband and her brother who is also an actor and lives in Kuwait.
