Expat to pay fine and blood money for running over a boy
A South African expatriate has been fined QR10,000 and ordered to pay a blood money of QR200,000 for running over a Yemeni boy while driving through a residential complex at Wukair.
Local Arabic daily Arrayah reported yesterday that the blood money has to be paid by the defendant to the legal inheritors of the boy in collaboration with the insurance company concerned.
The court also suspended his driving license for two months.
The defendant claimed he did not see the boy but heard something hit the car so he stopped and saw the boy under it.
Forensic reports affirmed that the boy died due to severe wounds and the motorist was driving his vehicle at a speed not suitable for such a residential place, causing the accident by his reckless driving. The court accordingly convicted him. [Gulf Times]

What a weird law: blood money. If you are rich, you pay and do it again.
RIP
Sad and tragic!
He should have been jailed also... May the boy rest in peace
