So what's the real story?
"The son of a former ruler of Kuwait has been shot dead by his uncle following an argument over cars.

Shaikh Basel Salem Sabah Al Salem Al Sabah, 52, was allegedly shot several times on Thursday night. He was taken to hospital but was dead on arrival.

His uncle reportedly had approached him earlier to say he wanted to speak to him in private. The two left the house and shots were heard shortly after.

Medical staff confirmed the prince had been shot multiple times at close range. Police have launched an investigation into the killing, and taken the prince's uncle into custody.

Shaikh Basel was the grandson of Kuwait's twelth Emir, Shaikh Sabah Al Salem Al Sabah who ruled Kuwait from November 1965 until December 1977, and the eldest son of Shaikh Salem Sabah Al Salem Al Sabah and Shaikha Badriya Abdullah Al Jaber Al Sabah.

His father Shaikh Salem Sabah Al Salem Al Sabah was Kuwait's ambassador to the United States, Canada and Venezuela from 1970 until 1975. He then held the portfolios of social affairs and labour, interior, defence and foreign affairs until 2001 when he retired due to ill-health.

The prince's brutal death has shocked the tiny oil-rich nation of Kuwait."

"Argument over cars" is just a pretext maybe. There might have been long pending bones to bury.

From very reliable inside sources, whom I should not mention; I believe it was over "whose car was better looking". Please do not quote me...Please!

They cannot even shoot properly. One shot should be enough.

Maybe it was over a house maid, ghazalz. But they cannot admit it.

Beautiful. Those who wear a gun shall die through it. (Ancient saying, not adopted in this area though.)
