Dubai: A Jordanian policeman has been sentenced to death by the State Security Court for killing his lover by running over her after she threatened to reveal their relationship if he failed to marry her.
According to court files, the convict killed his lover soon after returning from Saudi Arabia where he performed Umrah pilgrimage.
The killer got to know the victim as he worked part-time as a private taxi driver. They exchanged phone numbers and their frequent meetings led to a romantic relationship. As days passed by the victim pestered him to make their illicit relationship official by marrying her.
The accused promised her to do so but kept postponing, saying that he will marry her after divorcing his wife. A while later, he told his lover he will be leaving for Saudi Arabia to perform Umrah together with his wife and mother, which got on her nerves.
To make things worse, she kept calling him and threatened him that she would tell her family of their relationship if he failed to keep his promise. Fearing his family would come to know of the affair, the convict wanted to get rid of her by running over her on the street where she would stop in order to get a ride to go to her workplace.
On the fateful day, he executed his plan. After committing the crime, he went to a garage and got the vehicle repainted and changed the broken windshield. However, police arrested him and the assailant confessed to the crime.
Well, now, that's much better than telling your wife you have been having an affair? How stupid can you be?
After a thorough investigation, the state security court has sentenced the man to death, but the Court of Cassation overturned the decision and the case is still pending with the court.
Kuwait: Cross-dressers caught in raids on massage parlours

Cairo: Kuwaiti police had arrested a number of people suspected of involvement in immoral acts and cross-dressing in a crackdown on beauty centres and apartments-turned-massage parlours, according to a local report.
“A number of employees were arrested at more than salons and health institutes for having gone beyond health services. They are mostly people imitating the other sex,” a security source was quoted as saying by Al Anba newspaper.
“There is a follow-up of what is posted on social media about these suspicious exercises,” the source added.
The source noted that all those found guilty of involvement in “suspicious practices” will be deported and placed on non-entry lists.
“The Cyber Crime Department occasionally monitors adverts promoting suspicious home services. The offenders will be arrested. If proven to be partners to an immoral crime, they will face legal measures. Expatriate wrongdoers will be deported,” the source added.
Imitating the other sex is an offence in Kuwait punishable by a maximum one year in prison and a fine of up to KD1,000.
It was also illegal for Old Testament Israelis. Deuteronomy 22:5 ESV
“A woman shall not wear a man's garment, nor shall a man put on a woman's cloak, for whoever does these things is an abomination to the Lord your God.
There is no mention of cross-dressing in the New Testament, although an abomination to God in the Old Testament is surely an abomination to God in the New.
Afghan evacuee found guilty of molesting 3yo in US
The refugee reportedly told the authorities he had done nothing that would have
been off-limits in his culture
An Afghan refugee has been convicted of sexually abusing a 3-year-old girl at a US Marine Corps camp in Virginia following the United States’ evacuation from Afghanistan last August.
Mohammed Tariq, 24, was found guilty on Friday of sexually abusing the young girl while both of them were being housed at Virginia’s Camp Upshur on Marine Corps Base Quantico following his evacuation from Afghanistan after the Taliban takeover. Tariq is scheduled to be sentenced on April 26 and could face life in prison.
US Marines spotted Tariq “inappropriately touching the victim over her clothing, on her chest, genitals, and buttocks” at the camp last year, the US Department of Justice said in a statement released on Monday.
While “the victim and Tariq were unrelated,” they had both “recently been evacuated from Afghanistan and brought to the United States,” the statement reads. The girl was being housed at the camp with her family.
Tariq reportedly told the authorities through an interpreter that the conduct was allowed in his culture, while “efforts to have his statements suppressed were rejected by the judge,” Stars and Stripes reported.
Who attempted to have the statements suppressed? I wonder how many American media outlets actually reported the statements?
The US attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, Jessica D. Aber, praised “the resilience and courage of the victim and her family” in reporting the abuse.
The US military began evacuating its troops and allies, including native interpreters, from Afghanistan after the Taliban overran almost all of the country, eventually capturing Kabul on August 15. The hectic effort, which saw several Afghans plunging to their death as they clung to a US aircraft leaving Hamid Karzai International Airport, continued until the end of the month.
Over 73,000 Afghans were brought to the US in the initial phase of the evacuation, the White House said in November, noting that up to 22,000 additional refugees “may also be relocated and resettled to the United States” within the following year. All of the evacuees were originally flown to US military bases, where they were set to be released in communities across the country.
Obviously, they need re-orientation classes where they can learn what a civilized society tolerates and what it doesn't. 95,000 more people who are potentially pedophiles can hardly improve America's rate of child sexual abuse.
