A five-year old Saudi boy was found dead on the roof of a deserted house and police said they believe he was murdered by more than one man.

Abdul Mohsen Hamoud had stepped out of his house in the southern village of Malkouta to play with his friends but he never returned home.

His father, Hamoud, said he had informed the police after he waited until dawn for his son to return home, adding that he and many villagers had searched for him.

Newspapers said police found his body on the roof of a deserted house and that they arrested five men in connection with the murder.

“We have arrested five men in connection with this crime. We are still interrogating them to know why the boy has been murdered,” police spokesman Colonel Awad Al Qahtani said without mentioning how the boy was killed.
