April 23, 2015: Saudi Arabia beheaded two people for murder, one of whom was from India, the interior ministry said.
Sajada Ansari, a shepherd, was convicted of robbing his Saudi boss as he slept and beating him to death with a hammer, the ministry said in a statement carried by the official Saudi Press Agency.
The other convict, Saudi Mater al-Rowaeeli, was condemned for shooting dead his ex-wife and two of their children.
Both executions were carried out in the kingdom's north.
