The family of Zainab Saud Aziz, a student murdered...

The family of Zainab Saud Aziz, a student murdered by the Sana'a Ripper Mohammed Adam Omar stated they were furious they had not been invited to witness the execution of her killer and that they suspect he had not been executed. Zainab's mother, told the Gulf News Agency she was upset she had not been able to watch the execution.
"I have been killed three times: first when my only daughter was kidnapped from her university, second when Zainab's body was cut into pieces by Omar, and now finally by the Yemeni authorities." Zainab's uncle, said the moment they received the news that Omar was to be executed, they asked officials to postpone the execution for a few hours so that they could attend.
When the family contacted Yemeni officials, they were told that President Ali Abdullah Saleh had ordered Omar's execution without delay during a visit to the prison where Zainab's killer was being held. They promised to provide the family with a video cassette of the execution. Motlak said that a request from the family to view Omar's body after the execution had also been turned down, as well as a request that a mobile phone be put to Omar's head before he was executed, so they could hear his voice and ensure it was him.
Officials also refused to tell the family where Omar was to be buried. These refusals, coupled with the failure to invite them to the execution, made him suspect that Omar had not been executed at all. He claimed that a Sudanese officer from the Sudan Liberation Army, Romil Jonet So, had been killed in Omar's place.
