SAUDI Arabia executed two murderers including a Yemeni whose body was nailed to a cross after he was convicted of killing a fellow countryman and his daughter.
Shaaban al-Nasheri was beheaded for shooting dead Dhayeh al-Manbahi after barging into his family home in the southwestern town of Jazan, the interior ministry said in a statement cited by the official SPA agency.
Nasheri was also found guilty of raping and killing Manbahi's daughter before shooting and wounding her sister.
Following his execution, the murderer's body was nailed to a cross in Jazan.
In the second case, Saudi national Mohammed al-Zahrani was decapitated in El-Baha, in the southwest, for shooting dead compatriot Said al-Zahrani over a land dispute.
The beheadings bring to 15 the number of executions reported in the ultra-conservative Gulf monarchy this year, according to an AFP count. In 2009, there were 67 reported executions in the kingdom, compared with 102 in 2008.
In extreme cases, the convict is executed and his body crucified in public.
