Two Kuwaitis get death for torture, murder Victim’s family lauds ruling
SHARJAH, Nov 4, (Agencies): Two Kuwaiti youths were sentenced to death by the Sharjah Criminal Court in UAE and a third suspect was fined 1000 Dirhams for leaving the country without reporting the crime to concerned authorities, following the murder of their colleague at Sharjah University last February.
The court issued capital punishment against the suspects, 18 and 19 years old respectively, for snatching the freedom of their colleague and raping and torturing him to death. The suspects are said to have documented the crime in a six-minute video using cell phones, besides other related scenes of physical attacks and torture. Sources said the family of the victim welcomed the verdict with ease. Earlier, the family had refused any reconciliation move and stressed the desire to see the killers punished.
This is what happens when there isn't any wasta to save you and you are tried for your crime. At least UAE is not afraid to punish those who murdered someone unlike Kuwait where the friend of a friend of a brother etc has wasta and they eventually get "Acquitted". It seems only the guilty expats receive punishment for their crimes.
