Adjourned

The criminal court adjourned hearing the murder case of Kuwaiti propagandist Abdul Rahman Al-Sanafi till January 7, 2018, pending summoning the officer in charge of the case and hearing his and other witnesses' testimony. Case papers go back to August when the 39-year-old victim was lured by a 21-year-old citizen and his friend before being stabbed and dumped outside Al-Sabah Hospital. The suspect admitted to the crime after returning home.
