KUWAIT CITY, April 28: On Sunday morning, the Public Prosecution, represented by Public Prosecutor Fares Al-Dabbous, presented its case before the Criminal Court in the murder of a Kuwaiti woman in Rumaithiya, reports Al- Seyassah daily. In its pleadings, the Public Prosecution demanded the maximum penalty for the accused as punishment for his crimes. It described the crime as a tragic human event that highlighted the depravity and cruelty of the perpetrator, who violated the fundamental right to life, which is a right guaranteed by all divine religions.

The Public Prosecution requested the death penalty for a Kuwaiti citizen who is accused of sexually assaulting, detaining, and murdering a Kuwaiti woman. The Criminal Court, presided over by Judge Abdulwahab Al-Maili, has set the verdict hearing for May 18. The Public Prosecution, represented by the Deputy Public Prosecutor Fares Al-Dabbous, presented the case before the court, stressing that the defendant carried out the crime in cold-blood and a clear disregard for the law and justice. The prosecution explained that the defendant lured the victim to his home, where he committed the sexual assault, detained her, and killed her, before transporting her body out of his house in a bag.

The defendant confessed to the crimes during the investigation, admitting to the assault and drug use, though he denied involvement in the victim’s death. The Public Prosecution stated that the defendant, who had lost his sense of humanity, stalked the victim after they had developed a deceptive relationship through social media. The defendant crafted a web of deceit until he managed to lure the victim to his home to commit the horrific crime. Investigations revealed that the accused had a relationship with the victim and had promised to marry her. After she became pregnant and informed him, he lured her to his house where he detained her, raped her, and then strangled her to death. The Public Prosecution requested that the court apply the Penal Code to the accused and impose the death penalty.

KUWAIT CITY, July 1: As part of its ongoing campaign to combat organized crime and enforce residency and labor laws, Kuwait’s Ministry of Interior, through the Nationality and Residency Affairs Sector and the General Department of Residency Investigations, has arrested a gang involved in large-scale document forgery aimed at securing travel visas to various European countries.

Investigations carried out in coordination with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs uncovered the gang’s fraudulent methods, which included altering job titles, falsifying employer information, and manipulating work permits, salary details, bank statements, and other official documents to meet visa requirements set by European embassies.
