A Saudi man convicted of murder was beheaded by the sword in the southern province of Najran on Sunday, the interior ministry said in a statement.  

 

Mohammad bin Ali al-Khorim was found guilty of stabbing his compatriot Mohammad bin Yahia al-Humama during an argument following a car crash.  

 

The beheading brought to 22 the number of executions in the Saudi kingdom this year, according to interior ministry statements monitored by AFP. (Albawaba.com)
