A Saudi man in his 30s assaulted his female neighbour with kerosene and burned her alive before he was arrested when the victim revealed his name just before her death.

Police had rushed the woman, in her 50s, to the hospital with severe burns without knowing how she suffered from such injuries at her home in the southern town of Sabya.

“We have arrested the perpetrator, who is the woman’s neighbour,” police spokesman Colonel Awad Al Qahtani said, quoted by Alhayat daily.

“The woman revealed his name to her children and to the investigator just before she died at hospital…we are interrogating the man to know his motives for the murder.”
