SAUDI ARABIA: MAN EXECUTED FOR STABBING MUM, SISTER TO DEATH

18 December 2023 :

Saudi authorities have executed a citizen after he had been convicted of fatally stabbing his mother and sister and burnt their bodies.
The execution was carried out on December 16, 2023 in Medina, the Saudi Interior Ministry said.
The convict, identified as Abdul Rahman bin Saleh, had set the two victims’ dead bodies on fire in an attempt to conceal the murder and his addiction of prescription tablets, the ministry added.
After his arrest and interrogation, the man was referred to the competent court that convicted him on the double murder.
The ruling was later upheld by appeals and supreme courts, and approved by a royal order, making it final.
It was not clear when the murder happened or the motive.
