AL-JOUF: A general court in north-central city of Hail sentenced to death a man who had been found guilty of kidnapping four boys, raping two of them and leaving the youngest one, a three-year-old, to die in the desert. The man is appealing the verdict.

The crimes that rocked the community occurred in February. The name, age and nationality of the condemned man have not been released to the public. The boys (ages 3, 5, 7 and 8) were abducted on different occasions. Three of the boys were later found alive and one of them said he had been sexually assaulted.

The three-year-old was identified as Mohsin Al-Saadi. The man has reportedly confessed to all of the crimes except the killing.

The child’s father reportedly identified the vehicle the abductor was driving at the time of the kidnapping.
