The General Court here ordered a Saudi woman in her 40s beheaded for killing her husband eight years ago. Her daughter, an accomplice in the crime, was sentenced to 15 years in jail. The old man's charred body was found in a car in a desert area in Hail. Rains and floods that hit the region in 2005 had exposed the car and the dead body. Forensic examination showed that the body was of an old man who went missing three years earlier. Police suspected the wife's role in the murder and after thorough interrogation she admitted shooting her husband. She then took the body in his car to a desert area and buried both the dead husband and the car. All this was with the help of her daughter. The woman confessed to the crime in court as well. Sources said the woman has moved the Court of Cassation against the verdict. – Okaz __
