KUWAIT: Family members of a Kuwaiti female victim who was stabbed to death by her Filipina maid reasserted their commitment to the death penalty sentence, reported Al-Watan.
As a response to the court issued death penalty for the maid, the victim's family responded that the notion of a concession was out of the question.
The statements were made by the victim's uncle, who indicated that the family has received several calls from people, including personnel from the embassy of the Philippines, offering them money in exchange for dropping the case.
We don't seek revenge, we only seek justice against the criminal who stabbed our beloved Dalal [Al-Naqqi] twelve times while she was asleep," said the victim's uncle, Abu Ahmad. He indicated that they have been encouraged to drop the case despite their continues refusal to do so.
Abu Ahmad explained that they have been offered money, as well as to have a mosque built on behalf of the victim, if they were to drop the case. He said that "these funds should be used to host awareness campaigns for Filipino citizens against violence." The uncle indicated that the family has no personal problem against Filipinos, and that the country is entitled to ensure the safety and security of their own citizens. - Kuwait Times
