The ministry identified the executed Egyptians as Wael Al-Sayed Fareed Al-Sayed and Rizq Eid Ali Rajab, who killed Alister Morong.
“The two Egyptians took the Filipino to a place far from residential areas after promising him that they would purchase his truck,” the ministry said.
“After reaching a desolated area, the two attacked the Filipino and strangled him and threw him along the road in order to take away his vehicle and share the booty,” it added.
Security officers later caught the two criminals who confessed to the crime. The Shariah Court sentenced the pair to death.
The verdict was later endorsed by the Court of Appeal as well as the Supreme Court.
The ministry reiterated that it would not allow anybody to undermine the Kingdom’s security and stability and would impose tough punishments on those criminals involved in murder and armed robbery.
