RAPIST EXECUTED IN MADINAH

A Saudi man was beheaded in Madinah for raping and robbing four women after offering to give them a ride in his pickup truck. Salah ibn Rihaidan ibn Hailan Al-Johani lured the women into his pickup while posing as a taxi driver on four different occasions. He would then take the women to remote areas where he would abandon them after raping and robbing them, said the Ministry of Interior in a statement. The statement said Al-Johani was married and had a criminal record, adding that he was arrested following investigations and that a judge sentenced him to death for his crimes. Both the Court of Cassation and the Supreme Court upheld the verdict and a royal order was issued to carry out the death sentence.
