A ten-year boy had been savagely tortured by his elder brother according to Al-Watan daiy. The brother did not leave any part of his younger brother without having cigarette marks. He also reportedly burnt him with hot iron bar. The distraught mother, who is an expatriate divorcee, said her tortured son had come to her in the evening with pale face suffering from severe burns in different parts of his body. The mother said the incident occurred after the elder brother had discovered that his brother took SR16 from his father's wallet to buy food. The mother said she was married for 10 years and was blessed with a son and two daughters pointing that after ten-year marriage her husband abandoned her. She said she had fought for the custody of her son but was denied by the court. She said she had reported the incident to the police in Al-Faisaliya in Jeddah who summoned the father and made him sign an undertaking to hand over his son to the security authorities to interrogate him. __
