The High Criminal Court sentenced the killer of handball player Saeed Jawhar’s brother to lifetime in jail.
The crime was committed last September 10, during Eid Al Fitr, when the 44-year-old victim was stabbed to death during a quarrel with the culprit near a market at roundabout 17 in Hamad Town.
Police patrols and an ambulance rushed to the scene on tip-off but the victim was pronounced dead.
The culprit, who first fled the scene, gave himself in later to the police after detailed investigations helped in tracking him down.
