Man hammers sleeping employer to death

An Iraqi man was executed in Saudi Arabia after he was convicted of hammering his Saudi employer to death while asleep, newspapers reported on Monday.

Kadhim Al Issawi was beheaded in the Northeastern town of Hafr Al Batin on Thursday after he was found guilty of using a hammer to crush his employer’s head while asleep in his tent in the desert before stealing his money and car and fleeing.

Newspapers said Issawi had worked as a shepherd for Abdullah bin Mohammed Al Sahli since he was a teen.
