a Saudi Arabian man was beheaded by authorities after being convicted of bludgeoning his own grandmother to death to steal her money, the interior ministry said. Abdullah bin Fahd al-Dousari was executed by the sword after being found guilty of hiding in his grandmother's bathroom and beating her to death with a wooden pole, according to a ministry statement carried by the state news agency SPA. He was one of three men executed for separate murders in the ultra-conservative oil-rich Gulf kingdom. Yemeni man Mujahid bin Ali al-Dhabiani was beheaded for shooting dead Saudi national Abdulrahman bin Faleh bin Qeiat al-Dousari. Another Saudi national, Abdullah bin Jarwan al-Qoweid al-Dousari, was executed for shooting dead Saed bin Rajeh bin Fneiss al-Dousari.
