Thiruvananthapuram, April 28: <b>A Kuwait court reportedly revoked on Monday the death sentence given to Mr Simil, 26, a Keralite who was found guilty of killing his colleague, Mr Suresh Ambati, a native of Kadapa in Andhra Pradesh. Mr Similâs death sentence was commuted to seven years imprisonment after Mr Sureshâs family informed Kuwait authorities that they had pardoned him. The family had taken a compensation of Rs 15 lakh for signing the pardon document.</b> The tense parents of Mr Simil in Alapuzha was told the good news by his brother, who is also working in Kuwait.
It was the<b> Kerala Opposition Leader, Mr Oommen Chandy, who persuaded the family of Mr Suresh to accept âblood moneyâ and pardon the Keralite languishing in the Kuwait death row.</b>
The <b>AP Chief Minister, Dr Y.S. Rajasekhar Reddy, and local Congress leaders also helped Mr Chandy in his efforts.</b> It was a quarrel over a cricket match that led to the killing of Mr Suresh on November 21, 2007, in Kuwait. Mr Sibil surrendered before the police and claimed that he had accidentally stabbed his colleague. However, he was given death sentence.
After his story was published by the local media, <b>Mr Chandy and the Union overseas Indians affairs minister, Mr Vayalar Ravi, intervened in the issue.

After the <b>intervention of Congress leaders, the family agreed to take compensation of Rs 6 lakh. However, hopes receded after the family raised the amount to Rs 20 lakh. There were hurried negotiations and finally Mr Sureshâs wife agreed to accept Rs 15 lakh.</b> The money was collected from various sources including NRIs in Gulf countries.
