SAUDI ARABIA: THREE NIGERIANS EXECUTED

12 July 2011 :

Saudi Arabia beheaded three Nigerians accused of murdering and robbing a fellow citizen, the interior ministry said in a statement carried by the official SPA news agency.
 Mohammed Ismail, Abdulqudus Adam and Mohammed Kabir Ali broke into the house of Omar Mohammed Adam where "they beat him and his wife, tied them down and strangled Omar to death," said the statement.
 Then they burgled their compatriot's home, it added.
 The beheadings in the western Red Sea city of Jeddah, at Baiah Square, brings the number of executions in the ultra-conservative kingdom this year to 31, according to an AFP tally based on official and human rights group reports.
