Kuwaiti Child Rapist sent for evaluation of his mental status

KUWAIT CITY, July 15: The Criminal Court Tuesday ordered a citizen, accused of kidnapping and sexually assaulting an Arab child in Maidan Hawally on the first day of Eid al-Fitr, to be referred to a psychiatric hospital for evaluation of his mental condition. Security forces arrested the suspect after receiving a report from the child’s family and locating his whereabouts. The child was rescued just hours after his disappearance. Preliminary investigations indicated that the suspect suffers from psychological disorders. As a result, the court ordered his referral to a specialized psychiatric hospital to evaluate the extent of his criminal responsibility.
