Police investigating the fatal stabbing of an Indian Saudi Airlines employee on Friday say they are ruling out robbery as a motive and believe that the victim knew his killer. Initial reports say the perpetrator is believed to have entered the building through the main door after no signs of a break-in were found, suggesting that the killer was known to the victim. No property appears to have been removed from the site, leading officials to rule out robbery as a motive. Saudi Gazette reported Saturday that the body of the victim was found outside the airline's compound in the Al-Khalidiya District with a single stab wound to the neck, and investigators have since questioned neighbors and acquaintances of the deceased as they try to establish the circumstances surrounding the killing. The deceased, who held a senior position at Saudia's catering department, lived in a detached two-story villa on the airline's residential compound.
