Riyadh police have arrested a Filipino driver for killing his Saudi sponsor.
Police spokesman Brig. Nasser Al-Qahtani said the crime took place at about 4 p.m. on Sunday. Sulaimaniya police were informed by telephone that a 56-year-old Saudi had been killed.
Preliminary investigation pointed the needle of suspicion at his Filipino driver because the two were not on good terms following a conflict.
The Filipino had run away from the scene after committing the crime.
“Security officers were able to catch him within a few hours,” Al-Qahtani said.
Meanwhile, security officers are looking for a young Saudi man for allegedly attacking Saudi Telecom’s customer service office in Muzahamiya, west of Riyadh, on Sunday.
Informed sources told an online newspaper that the man was holding a gun and had broken the office’s glass door. He had also threatened the office staff. The man’s father told police that he did not know where his son was hiding.
