Filipina rejects SR50,000 to drop rape case in court

A Filipina cleaner in Saudi Arabia rejected an offer from her two rapists to pay her SR50,000 (Dh49,500) to drop a court case against them.
The two, a Saudi and a Yemeni, had first offered her SR10,000, but decided to raise the sum after she refused to drop her law suit against them.

The woman told police the engineer and the finance manager in her maintenance company took turns in raping her at their apartment in the Western town of Makkah after she turned down their offer to give her a pay rise in return for having sex with them.

“They kept raping her until she fainted and collapsed. They took her to the hospital and asked the staff they know to treat her without telling the police,” Sabq daily reported.

“But a friend of the woman called her husband in the Philippines and told him about what happened to his wife.
“He reported the case to authorities, who instructed their embassy to file a law suit against the two.

“The victim refused those two financial offers and her family is now demanding the maximum punishment against the rapists.”
 
Injured Saudi dies a day after his brother’s burial
 
A teenaged Saudi boy died just a day after his brother was buried following a deadly chase of their car by patrols from the Gulf Kingdom’s religious police.

Saud Al Qous was with his elder brother when they were chased by members of the Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice in the capital Riyadh.

The two had just reached a high bridge when the Commission patrol banged their four-wheel vehicle into their car.
The elder brother, Nassir, died on the spot while Saud was rushed to hopsital with serious injuries before dying on Tuesday.

“Saud died just 24 hours after his brother was buried. His family began to receive mourners again,” the Arabic language daily Sabq said.

Two commission members have been arrested on charges of causing the deadly night incident last week.
