A 38-year-old Saudi woman beat her eight-year-old son to death and police said they are questioning the mother to determine her motives.

Police arrested the woman in the Western Red Sea port of Jeddah after doctors found that the boy was tortured to death.

“The boy was rushed to hospital in a critical condition. He died just after he was admitted as he was suffering from severe wounds,” ‘Ajel’ daily said.
