NARIYA — A Sudanese shepherd stabbed his Saudi employer 14 times over a dispute at a desert area near Al-Olyia village. The Sudanese, who was on the sponsorship of another Saudi, was working illegally with his present employer. During a drive to Al-Rafea village, the shepherd asked the victim to pay him his wages. Following an argument, the shepherd lost control and stabbed his employer three times in the chest and 11 times in the abdomen. He then drove the victim's car to the nearest police station and confessed to his crime. Col. Zeyad Al-Reqati, spokesman for Eastern Province police, said investigators dispatched to the crime scene found the victim in a pool of blood. The team collected the knife used in the crime and sent the body for autopsy. According to police sources, the killer was wanted by the security authorities in connection with another crime in Riyadh.
