KUWAIT CITY, May 27: In a chilling courtroom plea, the Public Prosecution has demanded the maximum penalty for a man accused of brutally murdering a Kuwaiti citizen in his fifties inside his own home in Jabriya late last year.
During the Criminal Court session, Director of Jahra Prosecution, Fahad Nayef Al-Mutairi, delivered a powerful argument, describing the crime as calculated and merciless. “This was no ordinary act,” Al-Mutairi told the court. “The killer planned, pursued, and executed the victim inside the sanctity of his own home, in full view of his helpless mother. This is a crime that admits no excuse, and demands no mercy.”
Al-Mutairi further emphasized the broader societal impact of the crime, calling it “a message of terror” that shattered the sense of safety even within one’s own home. He urged the court to ensure justice through the harshest sentence possible, saying, “Justice is a sacred duty, and retribution is the only way to bring peace to the victim’s family and deter future violence.”
According to case details, the defendant, reportedly a traveler, entered the victim’s residence, initiated a confrontation, and fatally shot the man with three bullets. The victim died in his mother’s arms, adding to the emotional gravity of the case.
