Toddler Beheaded In Saudi Supermarket
Source
Tuesday, 04 March 2008
A man reportedly held a knife to the throat of his 15-month-old nephew and decapitated him in front of his mother in a Saudi Arabian supermarket.
The 25-year-old Syrian man beheaded the toddler apparently after having a dispute with the toddler's parents, his sister and brother-in-law, Arab News reported.
Another newspaper, the Saudi Gazette, reported that the toddler was 18 months old.
The killing happened in front of shoppers and staff in the fruit and vegetable section of the Al-Marhaba supermarket yesterday morning.
A police officer told Arab News: "The murderer was in a dispute with the boy's mother and her husband. He chopped off the boy's head in front of the mother to get back at her."
Another witness, Abu Muhammad, who is in his mid-60s, told the paper: "It happened so quickly. Before people could intervene, the man had cut more than half way through the child's neck."
Another local expressed his disbelief that anyone could carry out such an act.
"No one could bear the gruesome sight of the boy's decapitated body lying on the floor," Muneer, a car mechanic, told Arab News.
"How could someone do such a thing?
"I just can't understand it ... I still can't believe it."
One shopper, Ahmed Abdul-Rahman, told the Saudi Gazette: "I was shopping when I heard a scream and saw people running toward the shop's pastry corner.
"When I arrived there, I couldn't believe what I saw.
"A headless body of a child lay on the floor and the head was lying nearby soaked in blood."
The man was arrested at the supermarket, reports AFP. Murder is punishable by death in the Islamic country, and the sentence is usually carried out by beheading.

Absolutely shocking and horrifying. I support the DP in this man's case. He shouldn't just beheaded, that would be the easy way out for what he has done.

Errrr...scary.
exactly this is really unacceptable. It is horrible to know that there are still people like this living on this earth. he should have a slow painful death...i mean come on, we hear about murders every day and that can be due to disputes that people have. doing this to a toddler is just so wrong
i really feel like crying now, how can people be so evil
He deserves to be crushed like that guy in the Salem Witch Trials. Anything less would not be harsh enough.
I feel sick after reading that, I dont understand how anyone could do something like that. In all honesty I wouldnt give him the satisfaction of dying, Id make him suffer for as long as possible
That's horrible. However, he should not be tortured or executed.
The barbaric elements of most Middle-Eastern societies is precisely why such disgusting incidents occur.

Err right. And those 'barbaric elements' are completely absent in western countries such as the UK, which is why we don't get any brutal killings here.
I really feel it for the parents, especially the mother. Her own baby was beheaded in front of her - she will certainly be mentally scarred for life.

Anybody could think of a good punishment? slow painful torture?
Does a persons pain make you feel better? Torturing someone certainly doesn't make you better.
What happened to that child was sick, and cruel, (to say the least) but it doesn't give anyone else the right to remove this mans life.

No: All societies have murderers.
This isn't a usual murder. Not because of the method of killing, or even the age of the victim. It's shocking because of the minimal provocation that led the man to carry out the murder.
We're talking about a region of the world where people are regularly beheaded for various reasons by the State, e.g. the 'crime' of homosexuality. A part of the world where Westerners who are kidnapped by fringe extremist groups are beheaded, with the recording aired on national television to millions, and etc. A culture where human rights and individualism has about the same respect as prostitutes.
