Son Murders Mother Who Devoted Her Life to Him

Published

KUWAIT CITY, May 22: The Criminal Court is currently hearing a harrowing case involving a 28-year-old Kuwaiti citizen accused of murdering his own mother and fatally injuring his 10-year-old brother in the Sabah Al-Salem area. The accused has reportedly confessed to the crime, stating that he was under the influence of drugs (crystal meth) at the time and attacked his mother after she refused to give him money to buy drugs.

According to his statement, the refusal “drove him crazy,” prompting him to stab his mother to death. When his younger brother witnessed the scene, the accused allegedly turned the knife on him as well, inflicting serious injuries.

During a session before the court, Deputy Director of the Jahra Prosecution, Mohammed Talal Al-Hajri, delivered a powerful plea, calling for the maximum penalty—the death sentence—for what he described as a heinous and deeply disturbing crime.

“This is the case of a mother who devoted her life, her health, and her youth to raising her son, only for her life to be ended at his hands,” Al-Hajri told the court. “There can be no leniency in applying the law to anyone who dares to take a sacred life.”

The prosecutor emphasized the overwhelming clarity of the evidence against the accused, describing it as forming “a fabric of certainty and conviction, without doubt or ambiguity.” He characterized the crime as not merely a violent act, but a betrayal of the fundamental human values of kinship and sanctity of life.

“This was not an enemy killing an enemy, or a rival settling a score,” Al-Hajri said. “It was a son murdering his own mother. This crime is a wound to the heart of humanity and an affront to divine law. It strips away the sanctity that all religions and moral codes place on life.”

Calling it a “real tragedy” that reflects the depths of human depravity, the prosecution urged the court to deliver a just and firm verdict: “We ask this honorable court to uphold justice, and to impose the death penalty on the accused. It is the only punishment befitting such a monstrous crime.”

The brutal incident has shocked the nation. The 48-year-old mother died at the scene, while the younger brother was left in critical condition following the attack. Authorities have completed their investigation, and the trial continues as the public awaits the court’s final judgment.

Kuwait Doctor and Pilot ARRESTED in Ammo and Booze Raid

KUWAIT CITY, July 25: In a dramatic development that has rocked the aviation community, Kuwait’s Ministry of Interior has confirmed the arrest of two airline employees (a doctor and a captain pilot) on serious charges involving unlicensed ammunition and illegal possession of alcohol.

The arrests were carried out by the General Department of Weapons Investigations under the Ministry’s ongoing campaign to crack down on crimes involving unlicensed firearms and ammunition.

The first suspect, a doctor employed by an airline, was apprehended at Kuwait International Airport after security personnel discovered 64 bullets hidden inside his luggage. During questioning, he admitted the ammunition was his and revealed that he had obtained it from a colleague—a pilot working for the same airline.

Acting swiftly on this lead, authorities arrested the second suspect, a captain pilot, also at Kuwait International Airport. Confronted with the doctor’s confession, the pilot reportedly confirmed the information, prompting law enforcement to secure a warrant from the Public Prosecution for a full-scale search of his properties and vehicles.

The search yielded disturbing results. At one of the pilot’s residences, officers uncovered a stash of 500 unlicensed bullets. A secondary search at another property in the upscale Al-Shaab Al-Bahri area led to the discovery of 87 bottles of alcohol (illegal in Kuwait), as well as a variety of tools and materials believed to be used for home-based alcohol production.

When confronted with the evidence, the pilot reportedly confessed to possessing the ammunition and admitted to manufacturing liquor at home using materials he had ordered online.

Both men have now been referred to the appropriate legal authorities, and investigations are ongoing.

The Ministry of Interior reiterated its commitment to upholding security and enforcing laws without exception, particularly in cases involving weapons, ammunition, and illegal substances.

The Ministry of Interior reaffirmed its zero-tolerance stance on violations of Kuwait’s residency and labor laws. Officials stressed that both workers and their employers would be held fully accountable, vowing continued enforcement without leniency.

This latest operation underscores the government’s ongoing commitment to upholding national security and enforcing the rule of law through sustained and targeted campaigns.
