Child plunges to his death from the fifth floor

A Syrian child plunged to death from his fifth floor apartment in Kuwait although his parents were at home, the Arabic language newspaper Alanba reported on Sunday.

The seven-year-old boy waited for his parents to turn their back and climbed an emergency ladder at their flat in Kuwait City.

“He lost control and fell down on the ground. He died from the impact instantly,” the paper said, quoting police sources.
