Saudi Arabia executes Nigerian man who killed policeman

 

A Nigerian man named Fahd Houssawim was found guilty of killing a policeman in Saudi Arabia. He was executed by Saudi authorities on Sunday 29th May 2016. Amnesty International says this is the 95th time a convict is being executed in Saudi Arabi this year and the figures look likely to superseded the country's 2015 execution rates at 158 by the end of the year.

Fahd Houssawi killed the policeman by strangling him with both hands and hitting his head on the ground before he died.
