Kuwait's court of cassation, the emirate's highest court, upheld a death sentence for two Saudi brothers and a Kuwaiti for the kidnapping, rape and murder of a six-year-old girl in May 2002.
Marzook Saad Suleiman al-Saeed, 25, Saeed Saad Suleiman al-Saeed, 28, and 24-year-old Kuwaiti Hamad Mubarak Turki al-Dihani were found guilty by the criminal and appeals courts of killing Amna al-Khaledi, a bidoon or stateless Arab.
Saudi Latifa Mandil Suleiman al-Saeed, a 21-year-old female cousin of the convicted brothers, was sentenced to life in prison for kidnapping.
The ruling is final and only requires the endorsement of Emir Sheikh Jaber al-Ahmad al-Sabah for execution.
The victim was kidnapped from her home on May 1, 2002 and driven to a remote desert area, where she was raped by the men and then stabbed five times in the chest before her throat was slit.
