Bahraini develops hatred for expat community and goes on killing spree, closing arguments due in serial murderer case

Closing arguments will be heard on October 16, 2018, in the trial of a suspected Bahraini serial killer.

The defendant was earlier ordered by the High Criminal Court to undergo mental evaluation tests at the Psychiatric Hospital to ascertain whether he was responsible for his actions.

The Bahraini man is accused of attacking four Asian men, leaving two of them dead. The 24-year-old man told investigators that his crimes were driven by a hatred that stemmed from being sacked from job.

“In my last job, I was drawing a salary of BD300 monthly and I was fired three months after joining,” he said in his statement before prosecutors. “This caused me to hate expatriates because they were still working, while I was fired. I then decided to kill as many of them I could.”

The defendant began his crimes by mugging an Asian man in Karbabad before he drove his car into an Asian man in Manama – pinning him between two vehicles.
