Doha • A higher criminal court
yesterday sentenced a 43-year-old Qatari national to death after he was
found guilty of having sexual relations with his daughter, a 14-year-old
girl.
Taking a serious view of the
offence, the court in its verdict said the convict must face the firing
squad. Details of the case presented to the court by the prosecution
suggest that the convict's son saw him in the physical act with his
minor sister.
As was expected he was immensely
shocked but somehow managed to inform his mother. The family immediately
decided to report the matter to the police. The father was arrested and
interrogated and the case was subsequently forwarded by the prosecution
to the criminal court.
The convict was additionally
accused of forcing her daughter to have alcohol before the crime. She
was found to be under the influence of liquor when the matter was
reported to the law enforcement agencies.
