Hanged man was alive for hours
 KUWAIT CITY: A Sri Lankan national who was executed in Kuwait for murdering an Asian woman during a robbery remained alive five hours after he was hanged and pronounced dead, newspapers reported yesterday. Sanjaya Rowan Kumara was pronounced dead by doctors eight minutes after he was hanged but medics who transported his body to a morgue said they noticed he was still moving, Al-Qabas daily reported.hey Muhamed, see hes making that choking sign again Forensic experts were immediately called to examine the body and they confirmed that "there was some weak pulse in his heart," the daily said. forensically speaking that's not gas and I'm an expert btw The examination was repeated several times and each time "the dead body showed some signs of life," Al-Qabas quoted unnamed medical sources as saying. holy krap It's ALIVE! "They eventually pronounced him completely dead at 1400 hours local time," five hours after his hanging, the sources said. 'completely dead', humm.. that's much more serious The justice ministry refused to comment on the report but head of the criminal execution department, Najeeb al-Mulla, who supervised the hanging, told Al-Watan newspaper the report was "baseless." i tells ya he's stiff as board Kumara was sentenced to death by KuwaitÂ’s three courts for killing the woman while he was attempting to burgle her house. Four accomplices were sentenced to various terms in jail. Posted by: RD 2006-12-01 |
