Three Siblings Severely Injured in Fatal Saar Crash: Condition Updates Released
Medical sources informed Al Ayam that 12-year-old Aya Ahmed, one of the children involved, underwent a complex surgical procedure to reinforce her bones with metal rods extending from her pelvis to her thigh. Aya has regained consciousness and is now responsive to medical staff and those around her. Doctors have described her condition as 'stable,' with close monitoring continuing.
Her 7-year-old brother, Abdulaziz Ahmed, remains in a highly critical condition. He is suffering from severe head trauma and multiple fractures and is currently under intensive observation in the ICU. Medical professionals have described his condition as 'in God's hands.'
Their older brother, 10-year-old Yousif Ahmed, initially responded well to emergency surgery after sustaining internal bleeding in the kidneys and abdominal area. Although he briefly regained consciousness, doctors later discovered a skull fracture that required him to be sedated again and placed back under intensive care.
The collision, which occurred on the road leading to Saar Mall, resulted in the immediate deaths of both parents at the scene. Since the news broke, the Bahraini community has been gripped by grief and rallied in solidarity with the surviving children.
In a heartfelt gesture of support, Karranah Primary Girls School and Jaber bin Hayyan Primary Boys School—where Aya and her brothers are students—announced the cancellation of graduation celebrations. The decision was made to honor the children and express solidarity with the grieving family, highlighting the deep sense of unity and compassion that characterizes Bahraini society.

Three Arrested in Drug Parcel Bust Involving 9.5kg of Suspected Liquid Narcotics
The Public Prosecution has announced the arrest of three individuals in connection with a suspicious postal package containing approximately 9.5 kilograms of a liquid substance believed to be narcotic. According to the Head of the Drug Crimes Prosecution, the package was intercepted by Bahrain's Anti-Narcotics Directorate. Inside, officers found several containers filled with the suspected liquid drug. The investigation led to the arrest of two Asian nationals who arrived to collect the package. Upon searching the residence of one of the suspects, authorities found medical pills, liquid-soaked papers suspected to be drug-laced, as well as tools and materials commonly used in drug consumption and distribution. A third suspect, a Bahraini national, was later arrested while attempting to receive the same package from one of the original suspects. He reportedly resisted arrest, but was subdued. Searches of his home and vehicle revealed more suspected drugs and related paraphernalia. The Public Prosecution quickly launched an investigation, questioning all three suspects and ordering their detention for seven days pending further inquiries. Charges filed include drug trafficking, possession, and intent to distribute and consume illegal substances. The seized items have been sent for forensic testing, and authorities are awaiting final police reports and witness statements as the case progresses.

Red card for late claim
A former international footballer has lost his legal battle to reclaim BHD 33,000 from a Bahraini woman, after the High Civil Appeals Court ruled he had failed to prove she owed him the money — twelve years after he handed her the cheque. The court upheld a lower court's decision, finding that the player's case lacked key details and any evidence of an actual debt. His lawsuit, filed in 2024, claimed the woman had never repaid the amount he issued to her in 2013. She denied owing him anything. Representing the woman, lawyer Manar Janahi welcomed the verdict and argued that the burden of proof lay entirely with the former footballer. 'There was no obligation for my client to prove repayment or explain the funds,' she said, pointing to Bahraini civil law which places the duty to prove a debt on the claimant. The court noted that in his initial filing, the claimant gave no explanation for why the cheque had been issued. Only at the appeal stage did he allege it was tied to an unpaid loan — a claim that appeared nowhere in his original documents. Also unexplained was the lengthy 12-year delay between issuing the cheque and filing the lawsuit. The court said it was entirely possible the cheque was written for other reasons, such as settling a private obligation or fulfilling a lawful agreement — and without clear evidence, no assumption of debt could be made. While a cheque can indicate a valid obligation, the court emphasised that claimants must provide a clear legal basis for demanding repayment.

Court grants divorce to woman abandoned for over 20 years
The High Sharia Court has granted a Bahraini woman a first irrevocable divorce after determining that her husband had abandoned her and failed to provide any support for more than two decades. The court found that the man had left the country in 2004 and had neither returned nor maintained contact with his wife or their daughters. Despite a previous court order instructing him to cover their financial needs, he failed to comply. Representing the woman, lawyer Sadiqa Al Muwali told the court that her client had remained legally married but was left without any form of support or communication. She submitted that since June 2004, the husband had severed all ties, forcing the woman and her children to rely entirely on her family for their living expenses. Family members who appeared as witnesses confirmed that the woman had been residing with her father since her husband's disappearance and that her relatives had borne the burden of care throughout the years. Supporting documents submitted in court indicated that the husband had ignored prior legal obligations. After reviewing the witness testimonies and documentary evidence, the court concluded that the case met the criteria for a first irrevocable divorce under Islamic family law, citing abandonment and non-maintenance as sufficient grounds. The ruling makes clear that the husband has no right to return to his wife unless a new marriage contract and dowry are established. The woman, in turn, is required to observe the statutory waiting period (iddah) before entering into any new marriage.
