Kuwait's Criminal Court has sentenced a Kuwaiti couple to death by hanging for the abhorrent killing of their maid.
The couple unlawfully detained the domestic worker, denied her medical care, and forced her to work while subjecting her to torture, before physically assaulting her to death.
Public Prosecution ordered their 21-day detention on murder charges before they were eventually transferred to the Central Prison and charged with premeditated murder.
Prosecution called for the maximum possible penalty — the death sentence — stating that they "intentionally and repeatedly beat the maid, ultimately causing her death."
