Bahrain’s highest court, the Cassation Court, yesterday turned down an appeal challenging the verdict issued in an apartment robbery case.
The defendants were given a seven-year jail term on charges of looting the apartment of a woman. With the latest verdict, the defendants, all Asian nationals, had also exhausted all their legal options.
They will have to complete their terms in jail. Court files say the men stole from the woman’s apartment after a break-in to exact revenge on the woman by the main suspect.
He is accusing the woman of arranging girls for having sex with him in exchange for BD900. However, the woman went back on her promise after taking the money, the man claims.
The other suspects told the court that they were at the place to have sex with the woman, as promised by the main suspect.
They, however, end up stealing two phones and BD1,500 from the apartment. The court also ordered the deportation of the defendants after their jail term expires.
