A court in Jozan District handed down a life‑sentence yesterday to Aisha Rahman, the wife of the director of Jozan International School, after she was found guilty of the pre‑meditated murder of five‑year‑old twins, Maya and Omar Al‑Hadi. The trial, which lasted six weeks, revealed that Rahman lured the children to a secluded garden under the pretense of a school outing and then fatally stabbed them. Prosecutors presented DNA evidence, eyewitness testimony, and a recorded confession. The judge emphasized the “grave cruelty” of the crime and ordered that Rahman serve the maximum term without parole. Community leaders called for increased security measures at schools, while the victims’ family expressed a mixture of relief at the verdict and profound grief.
