RIYADH, 11 August — A Saudi security man shot and killed his estranged wife and five-month-old baby and seriously wounded a four-year-old daughter before committing suicide. The 30-year-old, identified only as A.S., went beserk Friday at his father-in-law’s house in Muthnab city, 300 kms northwest of Riyadh, where his wife had fled two months earlier over a dispute. The man immediately shot the wife and daughters and sped off in his car. A few minutes later he shot himself at the wheel. The wife, 23, and the baby daughter died instantly, while the older daughter was in critical condition. — Ibrahim Al-Oqaily
