Verdict date set for man accused of killing father

A Bahraini drug-addict on trial for killing his father will learn his fate on October 31, 2018, announced the High Criminal Court yesterday.

This came after a mental report to determine his psychological state deemed him responsible for his actions. The report showed that the defendant was under the influence of drugs and he wasn’t under misconceptions or any mental disease.

The incident that led to the case occurred in last October when the 31-year-old became violent after sniffing an aerosol cleaning product called Stop and penetrated a knife twice into his father’s body at their home in Muharraq.
