KUWAIT CITY: Authorities in Kuwait yesterday hanged three convicted murderers in the first executions in the state since May 2007, the Ministry of Justice said.
The men, a Pakistani, a Saudi and a stateless Arab, were hanged at the central jail, west of the capital Kuwait City, in front of judicial and security officials, the ministry said.
Pakistani Parvez Ghulam was convicted of killing a Kuwaiti couple and the Saudi national, Faisal Al Oteibi, of stabbing a compatriot to death. The stateless Arab, Dhaher Al Oteibi, was hanged for shooting and killing his wife and five children after claiming he was a long-awaited imam.
