Three doctors get jail for causing death of woman
Saudi man not our dad: Kuwaiti sons
KUWAIT CITY, May 14: The Criminal Court presided over by Judge Ahmad Al-Yassin acquitted an expatriate who was accused of peddling drugs and illegal brain stimulants.
According to the case files, the Public Prosecution charged the defendant with possessing methamphetamine with commercial intent, after he was arrested in possession of 31 packets of the pills.
Representing the expatriate during the court session was Lawyer Khaled Al-Ajmi who insisted on the disqualification of the case filed against his client as the arrest warrant was issued based on a flimsy investigation report, and his client was arrested before the warrant was issued.
He described the arrest and the charges against his client as maliciously executed, adding that his client has been adamantly rejecting the accusations since his arrest.
Jail for doctors: The Misdemeanors Court has sentenced three Egyptian doctors to jail terms ranging from six months to one year and ordered each of them to pay the plaintiff KD 5,001 temporary compensation for their mistake which resulted in the death of a female patient, reports Al-Rai daily.
Attorney Mishari Al-Rawi, lawyer for the plaintiff said the victim was rushed to the Sabah Hospital after she felt severe pain in her stomach.
The doctors saw the patient screaming out of pain and realized she had taken medicine for diabetes.
The doctors told the husband the health condition of the wife is normal and left her to attend to an ‘important’ personality.
After 7 hours the doctors returned and found the patient still in excruciating pain and took her to the intensive care unit for dialysis but could not do anything because her condition had deteriorated.
After four hours she died, and the medical report showed the doctors had failed to treat her in time. This is in addition to not following appropriate measures during the treatment.
Sons deny relationship: The Criminal Court presided by Judge Mohammad Al-Otaibi postponed its session until May 27 to hear a Saudi man whose two sons obtaining Kuwaiti citizenship deny their relationship, reports Al-Rai daily.
The two sons claim they do not even know the Saudi man. They told the court that their father is missing for a long time, and they’re still searching for him — although they did not file a missing person’s report.
The defense lawyer argued that the man would attend the court session if search and arrest warrant issued against him is lifted, however the court refuses.
Obscene videos sent: The Misdemeanor Court presided over by Judge Bassam Al-Ghuwainam acquitted an individual who was accused of sending obscene videos to his ex-wife.
The Public Prosecution had leveled phone-misuse charges against the suspect for deliberately sending the offensive videos to his former wife.
The defense counsel Lawyer Mohammad Al-Qattan affirmed lack of incriminating evidences to prove his client had sent those videos.
He said the Prosecution took into consideration the complaints of the plaintiff and the investigations of the investigating officer which were inconclusive.
