A man in Saudi Arabia is to be beheaded and crucified after he raped
five children and left one of them, a three-year-old boy, to die in the
desert.An appeal court in the capital Riyadh approved the death
sentence handed down in June by judges in the northwestern oasis city
of Hail where the convicted 22-year-old man carried out his crimes.The
rapist - who was not named - was arrested several weeks ago as he tried
to seize another boy after offering him a ride home from school.
The seven-year-old - who escaped unharmed - helped identify the culprit.The
man’s victims were aged between three and seven. He was said to have
lured them into his car as they left school at midday and then drove
them to remote desert locations to rape them.An investigation
was launched after a 25-year-old father reported that his
three-year-old son was missing and that he suspected the kidnapper to
be a male driver of a white four-wheel drive vehicle.
The infant was later found under a scorching sun in the desert where he had died of thirst.A
panel of three judges in Hail sentenced the rapist to death for
“abhorrent” crimes which they said had terrorised the community.
Crucifixion
in the conservative desert Kingdom means tying the convict’s body to
wooden beams to be displayed to the public after he is decapitated by a
professional swordsman.Saudi Arabia has executed 56 people this
year under laws that allow the death penalty for rape, murder,
apostasy, armed robbery and drug trafficking.In extreme cases, the convict is executed and his body crucified in public
