18 July 2024 :

Kuwait Court of Appeal, led by Counselor Abdullah Al-Othman, on July 15, 2024 affirmed the death sentence for a young Bedoun man convicted of killing his father. The incident occurred in the Al-Firdous area following a domestic dispute over breakfast.
The court’s decision to uphold the death penalty reflects its stance on the severity of the crime. The convict, whose identity has not been disclosed, used a Kalashnikov rifle to commit the murder after an argument between his parents escalated.
In its ruling, the court emphasized that the nature of the crime warranted the maximum punishment. “The accused deserved the death penalty,” the court stated, indicating a firm refusal to show leniency.
