Three beheaded for rape and sodomy in Saudi Arabia

Ah yes, the old beheading trick. I must say it is a rare pleasure to see a sentence handed down by a sharia court which does not punish the woman for immoral behavior. I must also admit there is nothing in this article which tells us of the fate of the woman, so her continued life must be assumed but not verified.

Thanks to "B" for the tip.

Three Beheaded In Saudi Arabia For Rape

(RTTNews) - A Saudi national and two Africans were executed by beheading in Saudi Arabia's port city of Jeddah on Friday for raping a housemaid and sodomizing two males.

They were sentenced to death after being convicted of raping the woman and attacking the men who came to her rescue in a house in the Al-Mushrefah district of north Jeddah two years ago, the Arab News reported.

According to the court verdict, the men attacked the maid after she started screaming when she saw strangers scaling the outside wall of the house. The criminals overpowered two men who came out of their rooms hearing the woman's screams. They tied and gagged the men before sodomizing them, the report said.
