RIYADH (AFP) — A Saudi national was beheaded by the sword on Sunday after being convicted of killing a compatriot, the interior ministry said.
Eid bin Hajmahuj al-Shimari was found guilty of shooting dead Ghoneim bin Shoshan al-Shimari with a machine-gun, it said in a statement carried by the SPA state news agency.
He was executed in the northern town of Arar near the border with Iraq.
His execution took to 57 the number of death sentences announced by Saudi Arabia and carried out this year.
A record 153 people were put to death in 2007 in the Gulf kingdom which applies a strict version of sharia, or Islamic law. This figure compared with 37 beheaded in 2006.
