SAUDI ARABIA. TWO GAY LOVERS EXECUTED FOR MURDER OF PAKISTANI

Saudi Arabia executed two men who beat to death a Pakistani to stop him exposing their "shameful" homosexual relationship, the country’s Interior Ministry said. It said Ahmed al-Enezi and Shahir al-Roubli, both Saudis, ran over Malik Khan in their car, beat him on the head with stones and set fire to his corpse "fearing they would be exposed after the victim witnessed them in a shameful situation."
The ministry said the two men were executed in the northern town of Arar, close to the border with Iraq. Homosexuality is a criminal offence in Saudi Arabia, a deeply conservative Muslim kingdom which implements a strict version of Sharia Islamic law.
