SAUDI ARABIA: MAN BEHEADED FOR MURDER
September 27, 2010: Saudi Arabia beheaded a murderer by the sword in Medina, the interior ministry announced.
Abdulkarim bin Khalif al-Anzi was executed for shooting dead Atallah bin Mohammed al-Anzi after a dispute, the ministry said in a statement carried by the official SPA news agency.
No details were given of the date or location of the crime. The ministry said the execution was implemented after a review of the sentence by higher courts, and due to the determination of the victim's family to see that the murderer was put to death.
The beheading took to 19 the number of executions reported in the Gulf kingdom this year, according to an AFP count. (Sources: Agence France Presse, 27/09/2010)
