The three were a Pakistani, a Saudi and a stateless man who were hooded and bound before being hung from gallows outside the Central Prison, official pictures showed.


They had been found guilty in three separate murder cases. Authorities had invited journalists from Kuwaiti publications to witness the executions.


The last recorded case of the death penalty being carried out in Kuwait was six years ago when a Pakistani man was executed for drug trafficking, according to Amnesty International.

Final minutes: Two of the three men are walked up on to the scaffolding platform to their execution


Kuwait, which has a population of around three and a half million people, operates a judicial system which is a mixture of Islamic Sharia law, English common law, and the Ottoman civil code.


The state carried out 72 executions (69 men and three women) between April 1964 and May 2007.


Crimes that carry the death sentence include drug trafficking, murder and treason. 


Sentences are not carried out publically however members of the media act as witnesses and pictures are published in the hope it will act as a deterrent


KUNA said 48 people remain on death row in Kuwait.

Sawing in the half was an incredibly cruel execution method.

Image
Sawing in the half was an incredibly cruel execution method, used mostly in the Medieval Europe. During the process, the criminal would be hung upside-down from a tree or gallows, and a large saw would be then used to slice his or her body in half, starting with the crotch, all the way to the chest and head.  While some victims were cut completely in half, most of them were only sliced up to their abdomen, prolonging their agony. Because the victims were hung upside-down, the brain was receiving sufficient bloodflow to keep them alive and concious until the saw finally reached the main arteries in the abdomen.  In extreme cases, the execution could last several hours. The term "death by sawing" indicates the act of sawing a living person in half, either sagitally (usually midsagitally), or transversely.  Thus, decapitation by sawing or dismemberment by sawing are tangential sub-themes, though some ambiguous cases might be included.  Death by sawing was a method of ex...

The last execution by hanging in Ireland took place 67 years ago today, on 20 April 1954 when 25 year old Michael Manning was executed. 67 years ago today, on April 20, 1954, a chapter in Irish legal history closed when Michael Manning, a 25-year-old carter from Limerick, became the 29th and last person to be legally executed in Ireland.  He had raped and murdered Catherine Cooper (65) who worked at Barrington’s Hospital, in Limerick, in February 1953.  He was found by the Gardai (police) because he had left a distinctive hat at the scene of the crime and was found with the yellow beret his victim had been wearing.  Manning’s headpiece was, as Dermot Walsh described in his book on the case, Beneath Cannock’s Clock, a “Mountie hat”.  It had a high conical shape, pinched into panes at the tip, and was otherwise known as a Baden Powell hat after the founder of the scouting movement. WATCH THE VIDEO HERE Manning was sentenced to death despite the fact that the victim’s f...
