SAUDI BEHEADS ANOTHER MAN FOR MURDER
March 23, 2014: A Saudi man convicted of shooting dead a compatriot in a dispute was beheaded by the sword, the interior ministry said.
Mohammed bin Khamees al-Hantushi al-Enzi was found guilty of killing Ibrahim bin Marfu al-Enzi, the ministry said in a statement carried by the SPA state news agency.
His execution in the northeastern city of Hafr al-Batin brings to 12 the number of death sentences carried out this year in the ultra-conservative kingdom.
