Poligamo donna kuwaitiana Accusato di Arson

“Burnt clothes and debris remain outside the scene of a wedding party fire in Jahra, west of Kuwait City.”
AFP – A Kuwaiti woman denied in court on Tuesday that she set fire to a wedding tent and caused a blaze that killed 55 women and children.
Nasra Yussef Mohammad al-Enezi simply replied “A” when judge Adel al-Sager asked her if she had started the fire and killed the people.
It was the only word the 23-year-old spoke during the brief hearing which opened her trial on charges including premeditated murder.
Looking frail and pale, Nasra initially refused to speak after two female prison guards had helped her to the judge’s rostrum.
Her three defence lawyers called for her release pending the full trial and alleged mistreatment by prison officials.
The public prosecutor presented no arguments during the hearing, but lawyer Zaid al-Khabbaz told reporters that the woman is charged with “premeditated murder and starting a fire with the intent to kill.”
Nasra was arrested on August 16, a day after 41 women and children died in a fire at a wedding tent in Jahra, west of Kuwait City. The death toll later rose to 55, according to the interior ministry.
The woman was initially believed to be the groom’s ex-wife, but her defence lawyers say that she is still his wife. Polygamy is allowed in this Muslim Gulf state.
Defence lawyers also allege that Nasra was two-months pregnant when arrested and was “deliberately aborted” by a prison guard with the help of an Asian nurse.
The judge was due to make his decision later in the day on the lawyers’ applications.

Those were drastic measures the wife took. I don’t know the laws in Kuwait. I think had it happened in the USA and polygamy was legal, a good defense attorney would try to get her off with a temporary insanity defense as a crime of passion. I can’t see premeditated murder.
Seems she was guilty until proven innocent, unlike in the USA where you are innocent until proven guilty. How sad…

My heart goes out to the woman and the people that she hurt and killed.
I’m very disturbed by the reference to the abortion at the end of the article. It seems to imply that it was done against her will. Is this viewed as legal in Kuwait?

Bek, Isn’t that horrifying… It is the most disturbing thing I’ve heard to date. It sounds liked they butchered her and took her baby, definitely against her will, as a form of punishment. I can’t stop thinking about it. How atrocious…

I took the article with a grain of salt and made supplications for all those involved. we weren’t there and we are hearing the story from people who weren’t there either. I haven’t seen any evidence that she committed the crime and I wont make a judgment on that.
