Man abducted, beaten to death in desert

Three Saudi men abducted an Arab expatriate into the desert and beat him to death following an argument, a newspaper reported on Tuesday.

One of the assailants lured the man to the desert in Southern town of Sabya, where the other two were waiting with sticks, the Arabic language daily Ajel said.

“They beat him up until he died…the three men were arrested by the police a day after they committed the murder,” it added.
