Saudi authorities on Monday executed an Ethiopian housemaid convicted of killing the child of her employer more than three years ago, the Interior Ministry said.
The ministry noted in a statement that the execution was carried out after the death sentence was endorsed by the king.
Meanwhile the convict had confessed having knifed to death the six-year-old girl in June 2013, allegedly in retaliation for her family’s ill-treatment.
Monday’s beheading brings to 119 the total number of executions so far this year in the conservative kingdom.
According to international rights groups, Saudi Arabia is among the top executioners in the world.
On Jan. 2, authorities beheaded 47 people, including a prominent Shiite cleric, on terrorism-related charges.
Report says Saudi Arabia has imposed death penalty for murder, armed robbery, banditry, rape, drug-trafficking and witchcraft.
The kingdom, which applies a strict interpretation of Islamic law, has repeatedly rejected calls to end the death penalty, saying the punishment deters would-be offenders.
NAN
So u couldn't take out ur retaliation on ur employees. It was an innocent 6 year old you descended upon. In ur sick mind,She had to pay for her parents sins,right?
ReplyDeleteGot no pity for u.
Seriously, no pity at all. How heartless
DeleteNot even one iota of pity at all.
DeleteThank you very much, TGW. Its not right at all. You see some of them beating up a 4-year old because the mother is supposedly not nice to you. So an innocent child has to pay for her parents' mistakes. That was the Ugandan nanny's excuse as well. Why don't u go all out and challenge the woman to a fight if you are aggrieved. Why an innocent child? God will judge
DeleteEthiopians are like Indians; VERY WICKED!!!

DeleteThrough beheading??? These Muslims are another type of humans
ReplyDeleteThey are practising the old testament and I love them for that! An eye for an eye. If u r not willing to loose an eye please don't take one. Christianity is too liberal, they do anyhow believing they would be forgiven instead of punished.
Delete"Report says Saudi Arabia has imposed death penalty for murder, armed robbery, banditry, rape, drug-trafficking and witchcraft".
ReplyDeleteHmmmm. But what if someone is wrongly accused or set up, and has already been beheaded?
The withcraft part got me lmao..
DeleteNigeria also imposes death penalty for murder, armed robbery, treason and other offences
DeleteGood!
ReplyDeleteJustice served.
ReplyDeleteI don't see any thing wrong in this judgment though.
ReplyDeleteWhy would the maid murder the child? She should have killed one of her employees instead.
ReplyDeleteWow, such wickedness, how could she kill the innocent girl because of her parents? What happens to resigning?
ReplyDeleteI wonder oooo
DeleteI remember the wise saying "that if a provoked houseboy cannot match his master strength to strength, he maims his favourite goat". Transfered aggression things. Lets be careful how we treat our maids n people under us.
ReplyDeleteIn other hands, merited judgment it is.
Death penalty should be imposed in Nigeria too,for money laundering, embezzlement and Greedy mofos
