Saudi authorities today executed an Ethiopian housemaid convicted of
killing the child of her employer more than three years ago, the
Interior Ministry said.
The execution was carried out after the death sentence was endorsed by the king, the ministry added in a statement, according to the country's official news agency SPA.
The convict confessed to having knifed to death the six-year-old girl in June 2013, allegedly in retaliation for her family’s ill-treatment.
