Three held for raping boy in Saudi

Saudi police arrested three men for raping a boy after threatening to slash his neck with a big knife, a newspaper said on Saturday.

The three snatched the unnamed boy just near his house in the capital Riyadh and took him to a deserted area, 'Kabar' said.

“There, they put a big knife on his neck and threatened to slit his throat…they then took turns in raping him before shooting a film of the rape by their mobiles,” the paper said.

It said the three warned the boy, whose age was not specified, against telling the police or they will publicize the film.

“But he went straight to police and reported the incident…a search campaign resulted in the arrest of one, who led police to the other two…the three confessed to their crime.”
