Saudi preacher jailed 8 years for raping, killing daughter
 [Al Ahram] A Saudi court sentenced a preacher convicted of raping his five-year-old daughter and torturing her to death to eight years in prison and 800 lashes, a lawyer said Tuesday.In a case that drew widespread public condemnation in the kingdom and abroad, the court also ordered Fayhan Al-Ghamdi to pay his ex-wife, the girl's mother, one million riyals ($270,000) in "blood money," lawyer Turki Al-Rasheed told AFP. Blood money is compensation for the next of kin under Islamic law. Posted by: Fred 2013-10-09 |
