Public allowed to see hanged Bangladeshis

Three Bangladeshis convicted of raping and murdering a Sri Lankan maid were hanged in Kuwait today and for the first time in two decades, the public were allowed to look at the corpses minutes after the men died.

Bangladesh had appealed for clemency for Anwar Khan Mohammed, Anwar al-Zamman and Mohammed Abdul-Sattar, who had paid blood money to the family of the victim.
