The cases have provoked public soul-searching over security and crime in the tiny oil-rich country, which imposes the death penalty usually by public hanging for murderers, rapists and people convicted of crimes against the state.
Marzouq Saed al-Saeed, Saeed al-Saeed and Kuwaiti citizen Hamad al-Daikhany were executed at Naif Palace.
Kuwait’s high court in April issued its final verdict in the case a year after the judicial system first sentenced the three to death for kidnapping, raping and killing Amna al-Khaledi.
Latifa al-Saeed, a Saudi, was also sentenced to 15 years in prison after the Court of Cessation found her guilty of being an accomplice in the crime, luring Khaledi into a car. Amna was found dead in the Salmi desert in May of 2002 after having been reported missing for several days. Coroner reports revealed she was raped and stabbed several times. reuters
