Man wanted for murder found dead in desert
BURAIDAH: A Saudi man who shot dead a Pakistani man and injured another was found dead yesterday in the mountainous area between Al-Turag and Al-Makharem near the Qassim-Hail highway. He probably died of thirst and hunger, said Maj. Fahd bin Ali Al-Habdan, spokesman for Qassim police. Prior to killing the Pakistani man last Sunday, the gunman, who was seemingly drunk, approached a van carrying Saudi women teachers and asked its driver to let one of the teachers off to accompany him, said Al-Habdan. Thank God. The driver did well by driving to the nearest police station at Al-Quwarah city, said Al-Habdan, adding that the man, who was in his mid-30s, escaped by driving deep into the desert. Later that day, police received information that the man fired his machine gun at two Pakistani expatriates killing one and injuring the other. Luckily, the second Pakistani only sustained a minor injury in one of his feet and was taken to hospital, said Al- Habdan. After a three-day extensive search, police found the mans body in a trench he had built in the desert. His car was first located a few kilometers away from where his body was, said Al-Habdan. He added that the mans loaded machine gun was found next to his body along with a full case of bullets. Posted by: classer 2009-05-27 |
