As per Arabtimes, After 20 years of serving time in the Kuwait Central Jail and after His Highness the Amir Sheikh Sabah Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah granted him pardon,
Joseph Urbiztondo is now a free man as he flew home to the Philippines on Monday afternoon via Philippine Airlines PR 669 Urbiztondo, 45, a native of Bacoor, Cavite in the Philippines was arrested by authorities on July 6, 1996 for killing a Bangladeshi national.
