Rapist & murderer
pictured walking to the gallows to face execution in Kuwaiti…
These images
show the last moments of two condemned criminals immediately before they were
executed in Kuwait for crimes which have shocked the nation. Ahmad Abdulsalam
al-Baili (left) and Hajjaj Saadi (right) were both hanged yesterday June 18th
on a gallows set up in a car park outside the country's main prison.
Saadi, 33,
was executed for abducting and raping 18 young children, while Baili had been
convicted of murdering an Asian couple.
The men had
provoked widespread revulsion within Kuwait - Saadi became known as the
'Hawalli Beast' after the district where he carried out his crimes. He lured 18
boys and girls under the age of 10 onto rooftops in the area before raping
them, according to the authorities.
Saadi was
arrested in July 2007 as he was about to board a flight to his homeland, and
confessed to the rapes - but he later claimed the confession had been made
under duress. He has also complained that he was not given consular assistance
by the Egyptian embassy ahead of his execution.
Baili was
sentenced to death after killing an Asian couple in April 2008 by pouring fuel
into their flat and setting it on fire. He later tried to do the same with an
Egyptian couple, but they survived the attack.
The men were
hanged around 8am today in the presence of the public prosecutor and other
legal authorities.Their bodies seen hanging from the gallows in the pic above.
