Three Yemenis were arrested by Riyadh police for stabbing to death a fellow Yemeni who lived in the Aziziyah district south of Riyadh.

The victim was found lying on the floor in pain near a camel farm, police quoted eyewitnesses as saying.

Police rushed the man to Al-Eman hospital, where he succumbed to his injuries.

The victim, aged 20, had been accused by one of the detained men of sexually harassing his female relative. The murder suspect and his two accomplices were all found to be residing illegally in the Kingdom.

The men are being held in custody pending criminal investigation and will appear in court.
