“They bundled her in their car, took her to a deserted place behind a building and raped her…police are still hunting for the rapists,” Alanba daily said. 


Kuwaiti killer of “sarcastic” friends gets death 

A Kuwaiti Sunni Muslim who converted to Shiite (Shia) murdered two friends after they scoffed at him for his decision.

A court in the Gulf emirate had first sentenced him to life in jail but an appeals court ordered his execution.

The court sentenced him to death on Monday despite a medical report showing the defendant is suffering from schizophrenia and other mental problems.

“He confessed to stabbing his two friends to death because they made fun of him after converting to Shia Muslim,” Alanba daily said.

Police said a hospital report showed the defendant has been treated at the psychological section for nearly 16 years.

“The report showed he is suffering from schizophrenia and other psychological problems that make him unable to control his actions,” the paper said.
