Custody of two extended

The custody of two Asian men, who robbed another Asian man after attacking him, has been extended by another 15 days.

The incident occurred during a mass brawl in Manama, where the accused were said to have attacked their alleged victim with an iron bar before robbing him off his money and flee.

The victim lost his consciousness and was taken to hospital with skull fracture and bleeding in his lungs.

The court files indicated that the duo stole BD300 from him.

During questioning, the first defendant told the prosecutors that the fight erupted between two groups following a dispute. The defendants have also been charged with attempted murder.
