‘Prison murder’: Defendants ‘knew right from wrong’

The High Criminal Court has received a report from a committee of three forensic psychologists stating that four defendants involved in a murder case were aware of their actions and understood the difference between right and wrong at the time of the incident.

The defendants are currently in custody, and the Court scheduled a new hearing on May 13.

The defendants were involved in the death of a young inmate at a correctional facility. The inmate died following a violent assault by the accused Bahraini men.

The defendants are facing charges of murder and are standing trial for their alleged involvement in the incident.

Four witnesses had said that the victim had objected to receiving a small amount of juice from one of the defendants who was distributing lunch boxes to the inmates.

This prompted the first defendant and the three others to hit the victim when they asked him to come towards them.
