KUWAIT CITY, May 18 : Acting on orders from the Jahra Police Station investigator, authorities have arrested two expatriates and placed them under a travel ban for allegedly stealing two kilograms of pure gold, valued at over KD 60,000, from a jewelry shop in Jahra.

According to a security source, the individual who filed the complaint will also be questioned following the arrests, as part of the ongoing investigation into the case.

The incident, registered as a misdemeanor, was brought to light by an expatriate serving as the company’s manager. He reported that approximately one kilogram of gold was found missing and accused two fellow expatriate employees of theft. The manager claimed the thefts occurred on April 9 at 9:00 a.m. and April 15 at 11:00 a.m.

It remains unclear whether surveillance footage was provided to substantiate the allegations, despite the specific dates and times mentioned in the report. The complainant also did not clarify why the company delayed reporting the theft to authorities.

KUWAIT CITY, May 18: The Criminal Court sentenced a Kuwaiti citizen to death for detaining, raping and killing his girlfriend in Rumaithiya. Case files indicate that the accused put the victim’s body in a bag and took it outside his home. The Public Prosecution, represented by its lawyer, Attorney Fares Hussein Al-Dabbous, urged the court to declare the citizen guilty and impose the maximum penalty on him.

During his court pleadings, Al-Dabbous indicated that the accused violated the privacy of the victim. He pointed out “the crime stated in the case files brought tears to the eyes, clouded the sky with mourning, expressed human baseness, brought criminal vileness to us, embodied the burdens of humanity, and took us to a real tragedy. The accused is a wolf that preyed on the innocence of the victim with his claws, and robbed her of the right to life that all heavenly religions have enshrined and forbidden tampering with.”
