An Ethiopian woman convicted of murder was executed in Saudi Arabia

An Ethiopian woman, Jinat Farid was found

guilty of killing Ghalia Eida al-Harithi by striking
her repeatedly with an axe as the victim knelt to
perform Muslim prayers, the ministry said in a
statement carried by state news agency, SPA.
After killing Harithi, Farid stole two gold rings
and an unspecified amount of money, the
ministry said. She was executed in the western
city of Taif.
The ministry did not specify any connection
between the culprit and the victim, but the
kingdom hosts large numbers of domestic
workers that come from African and South
Asian countries.
