KUWAIT: BANGLADESHI TRIO SENTENCED TO DEATH IN MURDER OF COMPATRIOT

The Kuwait Criminal Court sentenced three Bangladeshis to death for the premeditated murder of a compatriot taxi driver.
Case files indicate the suspects kidnapped the victim and set fire to him in a desert in Jahra, leading to his death.  Autopsy reports revealed the suspects beat the victim before burning him to death, while the results of investigations showed that they had been keeping sharp objects for a long time — a clear indication the killing was planned.
It has been reported the brutal killing was an act of revenge because the victim allegedly had an affair with the girlfriend of one of the suspects. The session was presided over by Judge Mohammad Al-Khalaf.
