Parvez Ghulam as convicted of killing a Kuwaiti couple, while the Saudi had stabbed a compatriot to death. The stateless Arab Dhaher Al-Oteibi was hanged for shooting and killing his wife and five children after claiming that he was a long-awaited imam Mohammed Al-Mahdi, who disappeared from the earth in the 10th century and is said to be due to return to save mankind.
Prosecution attorney Mohammed Al-Duaji, who supervised the executions, told the official Kuwaiti News Agency KUNA that another 48 people were on death row awaiting a final decision from the Kuwaiti Emir.
