Saudi “Raqi” held for raping ill woman

Saudi police arrested a local Raqi (healer by the Koran) for raping an ill woman who came to his house for treatment, a newspaper reported on Sunday.

The 45-year-old Raqi had told the Saudi woman, 36, he could cure her at his home-turned-clinic and that she needs to come alone.

“Instead of treating her, he raped the woman at his home…she later went straight to the police and reported him,” Sabq daily said in a report from Riyadh.
