Dubai, Nov 5 (PTI) An Indian and two Sri Lankans have been beheaded in Jeddah in Saudi Arabia for robbing a house and murdering a woman four years ago.

The Indian, Mohammad Naushad, who was executed yesterday along with the two Sri Lankans, was a resident of Pattambi in Kerala, Indian consulate sources in Jeddah told PTI.

"Although there has been no communication from their (the authorities) end, as is always the case, we have got confirmation from the Arabic media that he (Naushad) has been executed," they said.

Quoting a ministry statement, the official SPA agency reported that the Indian man and two Sri Lankans named Bandar Nikar and Halima Abdelkader have been executed in the case.

"This case goes back to November 2005 when a gang of 12 robbed a household and murdered a Saudi woman. The judgement was delivered in June 2007," a consulate source said.
