SOMALIA: PUNTLAND COURT EXECUTES 2 PEOPLE FOR MUDRER

a court in Somalia’s semi-autonomous region of Puntland has executed two people for killing a Puntland soldier in Galka’yo town, officials said.
The executed men were found guilty of stabbing a soldier to death and taking AK 47 rifle, the court said.
Abdirasheed Ades, a Puntland police official, told the reporters the executed men had killed a soldier one day ago in the town, adding the security forces have, afterwards, conducted search operations and succeeded to arrest them.

Mr Ades said the verdict of the execution was issued by Puntland’s court in Galka’yo after they were found of murdering guilty.
