The Ministry of Interior in Saudi Arabia released a statement on Saturday, detailing the execution of a death sentence as retribution in the Eastern Province. The executed individual, Meetham bin Mohammed bin Abdullah Al Obaid, a Saudi national, had previously murdered Shukri bin Saleh bin Mohammed Al Radwan, also a Saudi national, by stabbing him with a sharp object following a dispute. The authorities apprehended the perpetrator, and subsequent investigations confirmed his guilt. After being tried in a competent court, he was found guilty and sentenced to death. This sentence was affirmed by both the Court of Appeals and the Supreme Court, leading to a royal decree for its execution.
The retribution death sentence was carried out on Meetham bin Mohammed bin Abdullah Al Obaid on Saturday, July 13, 2024, in the Eastern Province. The Ministry of Interior, in its announcement, reiterated the government's dedication to upholding security, achieving justice, and enforcing laws against those who harm the innocent.
