Saudi Arabia on January 31, 2024 executed four Ethiopian expatriates on charges of murdering a Sudanese national.
The four were convicted of taking turns in fatally bludgeoning the victim and stabbing him after having tied his hands and feet, the Saudi Interior Ministry said. The motive for the murder was not given.
The inmates were also found guilty of mugging, attempting to murder and robbing others at gunpoint.
After investigations, they were referred to the competent court that convicted them of cardinal crimes, and intimidating others by attacking them and their money.
The verdict was later upheld by appeals and supreme courts, and approved by a royal order, making it final. Their executions were carried out January 31 in Riyadh, the ministry said.
