A Saudi court sentenced a local man to 10 years in prison for raping his handicapped teen age sister many times, prompting the prosecution to appeal for death punishment.

Medical tests showed the man, in his 30s, slept with his 16-year-old sister at home many times, taking advantage of her mental retardation and the absence of other family members.

The tests showed she had lost her virginity and the court in the western Red Sea port of Jeddah that the girl confirmed the rape.

“The court sentenced the man only to 10 years in jail although the prosecutor demanded the death sentence,” Ajel newspaper said, adding that the case would be heard by an appeals court.

Wife snatched from husband and raped

Two men in Kuwait stalking a Philippine couple waited for them to reach a taxi stand and approached them as security men. When the husband bent down to pull his ID from the bag, they pushed his wife into the car and fled.

The two, a Kuwaiti and one bedoun (without nationality), took her to a desert are and raped her. Nearly 20 hours later, she returned to her husband in “a very bad shape,” Al Rai daily said.

Nearly five days later, detectives managed to identify the bedoun and arrested him. He first denied involvement but he was quickly picked by the Filipina in a line at the police station in Kuwait City.

His friend was later nabbed and the two confessed during interrogation that they had committed three other similar crimes before.
