A Saudi citizen convicted of murdering a female compatriot was beheaded by sword on Sunday, as was a Pakistani drug trafficker, the interior ministry said. 

 

Khaled Nasser bin Shaye al-Dossari was sentenced to death for murdering Nura bint Shaye bin Hussyn al-Dossari following a dispute, said a ministry statement quoted by SPA news agency. 

 

He was executed in Khafji, near the border with Kuwait. 

 

The ministry said that Makhdoum Ahmad bin Wali Mohammad, a Pakistani national, was executed in Jeddah, after he was convicted of attempting to smuggle heroin into the Saudi kingdom. (Albawaba.com)
