Arrest Nasra was arrested the following day and confessed. She was charged with premeditated murder, attempted murder, and arson. Her trial started in October 2009, during which she denied the charges, saying that she had confessed under duress due to threats. Nasra also claimed that she had lost a baby after she was given abortion pills by a prison employee related to her husband. In November 2009, Judge Adel al-Sager ordered her to undergo psychiatric tests after her defense lawyers claimed that she had suffered unspecified mental disorders when she was a child. He also agreed to summon her husband and her Asian maid. The two implicated her in starting the fire. Nasra later said that she poured "cursed water" onto the tent in a black magic ritual, but not gasoline. In March 2010, Nasra was found guilty of 57 counts of premeditated murder and starting a fire with the intent to kill and sentenced to death.30 March 2010 Kuwait wife sentenced to death for fatal wedding fire https://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/8595173.stm BBC News15 November 2013 Todesstrafe für dutzendfachen Mord aus Eifersucht https://www.focus.de/panorama/welt/todesstrafe-fuer-dutzendfachen-mord-aus-eifersucht-zweitehe_id_1990760.html Focus de She was hanged at Central Prison on 25 January 2017 and was one of seven people executed in Kuwait that day.25 January 2017 Kuwait carries out seven executions in deeply alarming setback for human rights https://www.amnesty.org/en/latest/news/2017/01/kuwait-carries-out-seven-executions-in-deeply-alarming-setback-for-human-rights/ Amnesty International See also Happy Land fire - another act of arson committed by a jilted lover that killed innocent people References 29.35 N 47.6833 E source:kolossus-plwiki title Category:2009 crimes in Kuwait Category:2009 fires in Asia Category:Arson in Kuwait Category:Attacks on weddings Category:August 2009 crimes in Asia Category:2009 mass murders Category:August 2009 in Asia Category:Arson in 2009 Category:21st-century mass murders in Asia
