Saudi Arabia says it has executed a prince who fatally shot another man in a melee, a rare death sentence carried out against a member of the kingdom’s extensive royal family.
The Interior Ministry said late on Tuesday it had executed Prince Turki bin Saud al-Kabeer in Riyadh. It did not describe how the sentence was carried out, though the Sunni-ruled kingdom often beheads the condemned in public.
A ministry statement carried on the state-run Saudi Press Agency warned “whoever dares to commit such a crime that the Shariah penalty is awaiting.”
Saudi Arabia is among the world’s top executioners.
Such royal executions are rare, but have happened before. In 1975, the kingdom beheaded Faisal bin Musaid bin Abdulaziz Al Saud for assassinating King Faisal.

America used to execute murderers also. Our murder rate would probably be lower if those who killed other people wound up meeting the death angel themselves.
Our government has no balls now, They would rather lock them up and charge the taxpayers to give them the best life possible Free room and board, free health ins,Thr wish is the taxpayers command.
This punishment would be more than appropriate for you know who …..hitlery!!! for treason and other crimes against the USA.
I agree!!!
I still believe in a eye for an eye. The convicted and condemned should suffer exactly the same manner of death they inflicted on their victim. Why should they just sleep through their punishment? If they knew what manner of death they would be facing, I believe the murder rate would drop significantly!
If you can’t argue with a statement and make sense, it doesn’t make sense to argue. Just my 2 cents.
Well, serves the guy right , kill some one , you die. black n white…..
I commend their justice, It is both swift, and final.
