| Father dies after beating |
| 2003-03-05 |
| A Bahraini father collapsed and died in a police station yesterday, after being allegedly beaten up by a relative. Majeed Al Sameea, who was in his 50s, had gone with his wife to the Sanabis police station, to report the alleged assault. He collapsed in the station and was declared dead at the scene by paramedics. It is understood the incident happened after Mr Al Sameea's daughter refused to marry a cousin. The cousin turned up at the family home in Sanabis yesterday morning and a fight broke out in which Mr Al Sameea was punched repeatedly. I really do think that honor/shame thing is connected with marrying close relatives... |
