Two Sri Lankans, including a woman, and an Indian were beheaded in Jeddah on Wednesday for theft and murder, the Saudi interior ministry said.

Mohammed Barmil from India and Sri Lankan Bandar Nikar entered the home of Mariam Hussein, a Saudi woman, suffocated her and stole money and jewellery, according to agency reports.

They had entered with the help of Hussein’s Sri Lankan maid, Halima Abdelkader, the ministry said.

The beheadings took to 59 the number of executions in Saudi Arabia this year. Last year, Saudi Arabia put 102 people to death.
