KUWAIT CITY, Jan 18: The Forensic report shows the young Kuwaiti was killed by his cousin by stabbing him in the head, reports Al-Anba daily. 

The Forensics has carried out an analysis of the accused person to determine the type of substance he consumed before committing the crime which rendered him uncontrollable.

A security source said the suspect will be investigated by the Ahmadi Investigation team and said the death penalty awaits the suspect for what he has done. 

The source pointed out the Public Prosecution has asked the Al-Ahmadi Investigator to re-interrogate the accused to know the motives for the crime.

The source pointed out the Public Prosecution will take the suspect to the scene of the murder and ask him to re-enact the crime. 

The victim was killed in Mina Abdullah inside one of the camps and the suspect was handed over to the Mina Abdullah Police Station by the parents of the suspect.

Kuwaiti sentenced to death for killing his father


KUWAIT CITY, Nov 14, 2019: The Court of Cassation upturned the verdict issued by a lower court, which sentenced a Kuwaiti citizen to death for killing his father in their Waha family residence over a family dispute. 

The court thereby commuted the verdict to life imprisonment.

After the incident occurred in November last year, security operatives managed to arrest the suspect in a desert area in Oyoun and retrieved the crime tool that he dumped in a garbage bin close to scene of the incident. 

The culprit – an ex-convict – confessed that he picked the knife from their kitchen under narcotic influence, and located his 45-year old father after which he stabbed him to death.
