Saudi Arabia: Sudanese man beheaded for murder

December 19, 2012: A Sudanese man convicted of murder was beheaded by the sword in the western city of Mecca, the Saudi interior ministry said.

Othman Mohammed was found guilty of killing another Sudanese man, Salah Ahmed, by repeatedly beating him on his head following a dispute between the two, the ministry said in a statement published by state news agency SPA.

Mohammed's beheading raises to 76 the number of people executed so far this year in the ultra-conservative Muslim kingdom, where 79 were put to death in 2011, according to Amnesty International.
