Kuwaiti Couple Sentenced After Torturing Filipino Maid to Death

KUWAIT CITY, July 28: The Criminal Court has sentenced a Kuwaiti citizen and his wife to death for the brutal killing of their domestic worker. The charges included physically assaulting the maid to death, unlawfully detaining her, denying her medical care, and forcing her to work while being subjected to torture.

Earlier, the Public Prosecution had ordered the couple to be held in custody for 21 days on charges of murdering their Filipino maid. They were subsequently transferred to the Central Prison and officially charged with premeditated murder — a crime that is punishable by death.

In its case, the Prosecution sought the maximum possible penalty, stating that the defendants had intentionally and repeatedly beaten the maid, ultimately resulting in her death.
