Prostitutes try daredevil hi-rise escape; one falls to death

In a daring movie-style escape attempt, two Asian prostitutes tried to escape their customers from a 7th floor apartment in a building in Kuwait after a dispute over fees but one of them plunged to her death while the other escaped.

The two Egyptian men had brought in the Asian prostitutes, but one of them later fled the apartment, leaving the other arguing with the two women.

The man then locked them up and threatened to call the police.

Frightened, the two women tied blankets to the balcony and began climbing down.

One of them slipped and plunged to her death while the other fell on the balcony on the sixth level. She then entered the flat and fled.

Alwatan newspaper said police had arrested the Egyptian and were searching for his friend and the Asian woman.
