KUWAIT CITY, Sept 20: The Criminal Court adjourned to October 10 the case of the murder of citizen Abdulaziz Al-Zaatari by a member of the ruling family. The case was adjourned in order to extract a report on his movement from communications towers on the day of the incident and to summon the witness who owned the vehicle in which the crime was committed.

During the court session yesterday, Lawyer Bashar Al-Nassar was present on behalf of the victim’s family members, and demanded that the maximum punishment be imposed on the accused because he was the perpetrator of the murder with premeditation and deliberation.

He said the defendant’s defense team submitted 12 requests, of which three requests were approved – extracting a statement of the communications traffic from the towers mentioned in the accused’s memorandum of requests in items one and two for the day of the incident, and summoning the witness who owned the vehicle in which the crime was committed. Lawyer Bashar Al-Nassar indicated that, after the witness appeared in the next session, “I will detonate a loud bomb for you, which is considered a disaster that cannot be tolerated.” By Jaber Al-Hamoud/ Abdel Nasser Al-Aslami Al-Seyassah / Arab Times Staff
