A Saudi rapist was beheaded in Bisha in Asir on Tuesday, according to the Interior Ministry.

Muhammad Al-Bishi was charged with raping a minor girl at gun point. This is besides his attempts to break into houses and attempt to rape several women, as well as attempting to kidnap children and women after threatening to kill them if they did not comply to his wishes. The court condemned him to death after the prosecution teams decided unanimously to press full criminal charges against him.

“Police apprehended the man and collected sufficient evidence against him, promoting the General Court to sentence him to death.

The verdict was then upheld by the appeal court and the high court,” according to the ministry’s statement, which also noted that the death penalty was to be applied in line with a royal decree on the matter.
