Saudi authorities on
Monday executed an Ethiopian housemaid convicted of killing the child of her
employer more than three years ago, the Interior Ministry said.
The ministry noted in a statement that the
execution was carried out after the death sentence was endorsed by the king.
Meanwhile the convict had confessed having
knifed to death the six-year-old girl in June 2013, allegedly in retaliation
for her family’s ill-treatment.
Monday’s beheading brings to 119 the total
number of executions so far this year in the conservative kingdom.
