Saudi Arabia on Tuesday beheaded two Bangladeshis convicted of killing and robbing a fellow citizen in the kingdom, the interior ministry announced.
Nujum Abdulshrif and Abdulmajed Hamza killed Mohammed Kabir, also Bangladeshi; the state news agency SPA reported quoting the ministry.
They "suffocated him, beat him on his head using a thick stick, and strangled him" to death, the report said, adding they then stole Kabir's money and cell phones. The two men were beheaded in Jizan, in the kingdom's south.
The death penalty in Saudi Arabia applies to a wide range of offences including rape, apostasy, armed robbery and drug trafficking, as well as murder, as stipulated by Sharia law.
