KUWAIT: The Lebanese public prosecution made a recommendation to keep the case of Nader Essam Assaf - who is accused of killing Filipina maid Joana Daniela Demafelis - in Lebanon, and rejected Kuwait's request for extradition. The prosecution said as Assaf is Lebanese, the case is under the jurisdiction of Lebanon and recommended not to hand him over, Al-Rai reported yesterday.
