Saudi authorities on Sunday beheaded two Pakistanis in the holy city of Makkah after finding them guilty of two murders, the interior ministry said. Bashir Afridi and Rahmulwahab Abdullah, both of them Pakistanis, murdered and robbed Mohammed Haji, a fellow Pakistani, the ministry said in a statement carried by state news agency SPA.
The two also killed a woman and caused the death of another, SPA reported, without revealing the nationalities of the two women. His beheading brings to 28 the total number of executions in the ultra-conservative kingdom so far this year, according to an AFP tally based on official reports.
