Culprit killed in Riyadh for having set fire to a prison,

Riyadh, November 07, SPA -- A culprit was killed in Riyadh today for
having set fire to a prison, killing 69 and injuring 21 of
suffocation and causing serious damage to the building, announced the
Ministry of Interior.

In a statement, the Ministry said that Saad bin Fihaid bin Mubarak
Al-Sibaie, Saudi national, pleaded guilty that he has set Al-Haer
Reformatory ablaze on 18/7/1424 H. while serving a sentence at the
facility.

Due to the horrible crime he committed, the great human and material
losses resulting from it and his confession that he deliberately set
fire to the place and did not report to any person or authority to
deter or alleviate the anticipated losses, the culprit was sentenced
to tongue-lashing death, the Ministry said, adding that the rule to
kill him was carried out today in Riyadh after being endorsed by the
supreme authorities according to Islamic Sharia law.
