KUWAIT CITY, Sept 6: The judge overseeing the detention renewal case refused to release the “Fashionista” responsible for the tragic traffic accident that occurred on Thursday, August 24, at the junction of Al-Soor Street and King Fahd bin Abdulaziz Road during the early hours. The accident resulted in the loss of two lives and injuries to other individuals traveling with them. The court has scheduled a hearing for the ongoing proceedings on the Sept 14, to address the case.

Reliable sources have informed Al-Seyassah daily that the accused has vehemently denied all charges against her, providing a comprehensive account in her defense. Furthermore, the court rejected two requests from the team of defense lawyers to release her on any terms deemed suitable by the Detention Renewal Penal, emphasizing that as a Kuwaiti citizen, she has no intention of fleeing and asserting that there are no valid grounds for pretrial detention.

The defendant faces a total of 10 charges, including manslaughter, accidental injury, driving a vehicle under the influence of intoxicants or narcotics, exceeding the speed limit, running a red traffic light, reckless driving, driving a vehicle without valid insurance, driving without a driver’s license, causing damage to the property of others, and causing damage to public property.
