Jabriya Killer Hunted Victim, Fired Three Shots in Front of Helpless Mother
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. The trial continues as the court deliberates on the prosecution's demand for the maximum sentence

‘She Refused To Pay For Drugs': Kuwaiti Man On Trial For Killing Mother, Stabbing Brother
A 28-year-old Kuwaiti man is currently on trial in Kuwait's Criminal Court, facing charges of fatally stabbing his mother and seriously injuring his 10-year-old brother in the Sabah Al Salem district. The accused has confessed, stating that he was under the influence of crystal meth at the time of the attack. He claimed he assaulted his mother after she refused to give him money to buy more drugs. According to his statement, the refusal 'drove him crazy,' prompting the fatal stabbing. When his younger brother witnessed the attack, the accused allegedly turned the knife on him, inflicting serious injuries. During a court session, Deputy Director of the Jahra Prosecution, Mohammed Talal Al Hajri, called for the death penalty. He described the crime as 'heinous and deeply disturbing,' emphasising that the mother had 'devoted her life, her health, and her youth to raising her son, only for her life to be ended at his hands.' 'There can be no leniency in applying the law to anyone who dares to take a sacred life,' Al Hajri said. He stressed that the evidence against the accused was overwhelming and 'forms a fabric of certainty and conviction, without doubt or ambiguity.' Al Hajri framed the crime as a profound betrayal of fundamental human values: 'This was not an enemy killing an enemy, or a rival settling a score. 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 the incident 'a real tragedy' that reveals the depths of human depravity, the prosecution urged the court to impose 'the only punishment befitting such a monstrous crime.' The 48-year-old mother died at the scene, while the younger brother remains in critical condition.

Son Murders Mother Who Devoted Her Life to Him
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.

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.
