(MENAFN- Gulf Times) A Doha Criminal Court yesterday sentenced a young man to death for fatally stabbing his father after a heated debate over buying him a new vehicle.
The court, however, adjourned the execution of the verdict until the convict's youngest brother reaches the legal age, giving room for the legal heirs of the victim to accept blood money, or seek mercy for the convict.
Two consultant psychiatrists from Hamad Medical Corporation testified that the convict suffers from schizophrenia, which influences his assessment. Yet, they told the court that the nature of his illness was intermittent and at the time of murder he was completely accountable for his actions, and was able to distinguish between right and wrong.
The convict admitted his guilt. He also handed himself over to the police after committing his crime.

severe injuries.
