Kuwaiti authorities recently arrested a Syrian man who sent nude images of his wife to a friend because he wanted to break a "black magic spell" he thought was cast on her.

According to Al Rai newspaper, the arrest came after the wife discovered the photos on her husband's phone and reported him to the police.

At first, the husband denied his wife's allegations, accusing her of being "delirious" and mentally unstable.

However, investigators became even more suspicious about the defendant when a phone search showed he had deleted several images and texts off his mobile before being interrogated.
