A Pakistani expatriate entered his apartment in Riyadh yesterday only to find his roommate in a pool of blood. Before realizing what had happened, another Pakistani holding a meat cleaver attacked him.

The victim was injured but managed to escape. He was then found lying in the street in front of the National Commercial Bank. Police took him to King Saud hospital and sent a team to the crime scene, where they found the body and the cleaver used in the crime.

Police said they later caught the suspect, who confessed to killing the victim following a dispute between them.
