JEDDAH: The sequence of events as narrated in court by one of the convicts:
We had alcohol with us when we arrived at the farm. We saw five workers with their hands tied in the seating area. When the friend with me asked why they were tied, our host said that one of them had sexually harassed his sponsor’s daughter and other women.
I saw that the five Indian workers were tied and unconscious, just before we went to another room to drink alcohol and smoke hashish. While we were drinking, I heard one of them screaming so I went out and slapped him in the face.
Later the friend who came with me left the room with a stick and hit the worker until he bled. We then took them all into another room.
The three of us continued beating the workers on different parts of their bodies while continuing to drink and smoke.
We kept drinking, smoking and beating them. The host suggested we bury them alive in a hole behind the entrance gate of the farm. We tied them again with ropes and adhesive tape so they could not move.
The host brought his pickup truck and we three loaded the workers onto it. We then dumped them into a 2.5 meter deep hole.
We buried them alive with all their identity cards. At the time for the dawn prayer, my friend and I left the farm, while our host remained there alone.
