Bahrain: IN a dramatic U-turn in a murder trial a witness yesterday changed his testimony, claiming that the alleged killer did not stab his victim to death but only beat him with his bare fists.
Earlier, the defendant’s cousin had told prosecutors that he saw Abdul Qader Al Kooheji bleeding following a fight with the 19-year-old Bahraini, accused of stabbing his victim six times in a frenzied attack in Halat Bu Maher on March 9 this year at around 1am .
