CAIRO – 15 August: The Minister of Immigration Nabila Makram said that the body of an Egyptian citizen who lost his life on Aug. 12 evening during a fight with an Asian expat that ended with the stabbing of the Egyptian at Kuwait’s Bnied Al-Gar, arrived home on Wednesday.

According to Al-Rai, the 30-year-old Egyptian expat died from a fatal stab to the heart. The Kuwaiti Ministry of Interior has not yet revealed the name of the murdered expat or the identity of the Asian murderer. Kuwaiti authorities have found the knife the murderer used.

Makram added in a statement that the ministry follows up on the investigation of the accident with Kuwaiti officials, thanking their efforts for completing the procedures for the arrival of the body.

Erem News reported on Monday that Kuwaiti authorities managed to arrest two people accused of stabbing an Arab citizen to the heart in Bnied Al-Gar before they could flee the country.

An Egyptian was previously shot dead at Kuwait’s Jleeb Al-Shuyoukh in January 2013. Also, the Middle East News Agency (MENA) reported in April 2018 that an Egyptian working at a weaponry store was injured when a Kuwaiti citizen was checking a shooting gun.

In another incident, 16-year-old Abdullah al-Shishtawi’s body was returned to Egypt on a plane three months after he was killed in France during a fight with one of his colleagues that ended with the latter stabbing him, according to Egypt’s Al-Masry Al-Youm.

In late February, an 18-year-old Egyptian engineering student, Mariam Moustafa, was tragically attacked by 10 British women of African descent.

Fathy Abdullah Gado, an Egyptian citizen, was shot dead by armed criminals in South Africa, while he was driving a car laden with goods for sale.

In March, two Egyptian citizens – Tamer Sayed, 18, and Mohamed Abdel Sattar, 38 – were shot dead in Olievenhoutbosch, Centurion. The Egyptian Embassy in South Africa contacted officials to obtain body transport permits, and the two bodies were flown back to Egypt, the embassy said in a press statement.

Last November, Egyptian Mohamed Nawar was found dead in a shallow grave near a river in the reserve of Limpopo, South Africa. The investigation revealed that Nawar was killed and buried by a band of thieves who wanted his car.

Consequently, the Foreign Ministry urged Egyptian expats in South Africa to be cautious and not to walk around with large amounts of cash.
