'Marriage destroyer' sorcerer caught in Saudi

Saudi Arabia’s top religious authority has caught a Bangladeshi for alleged involvement in witchcraft with the aim of blackmailing money by destroying marriages, the Arabic language daily Okaz reported on Thursday.
 
The feared Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice said its men seized the Bangladeshi expatriate in the southwestern province Khamis Mushayt after they had watched him for nearly two months, it said.
 
“They caught the man, in his 50s, red handed and seized some books and papers that have to do with sorcery and black art,” the paper said.
 
“The Commission said these books and other magic items were used in destroying safe homes and separating couples.”
