Fifty-seven women and children were killed in the incident in al-Jahra in August, making it one of the worst civilian disasters in Kuwait’s modern history.



The judge found the woman, Nasra Yussef Mohammed al-Enezi, guilty of premeditated murder.



She denied the charges and her lawyers say they will appeal.



Death sentences in Kuwait are carried out by hanging.
