The mother of a Sri Lankan maid beheaded in Saudi Arabia for murder has rejected offers of cash from Saudi well-wishers following an outcry over the execution, a local newspaper said. 
"I will not accept any gifts from the Saudis or the Saudi government which murdered my daughter," Rizana Nafeek's mother, Saiyadu Farina, told the Lankadeepa newspaper according to an excerpt of an interview on its website. Sri Lankan newspapers said she had received cash offers exceeding two million rupees ($16,000) following the execution which was carried out on 9 January in the Saudi capital Riyadh despite repeated appeals for clemency. The impoverished family lives in a make-shift home in the eastern village of Muttur.
