A Saudi Arabian prince has been executed for shooting dead a man during a brawl three years ago in the capital Riyadh, the interior ministry has said.
Prince Turki bin Saud al-Kabir was put to death in the capital. No details were given as to how he was executed - most condemned people are beheaded.
The prince is the 134th person to be put to death this year, according to a list compiled by the AFP news agency.
But it is rare for royal family members to be executed, correspondents say.
The prince had pleaded guilty to shooting his compatriot, the interior ministry statement said.
Announcing the execution, the ministry said it would assure everyone the government was "keen to preserve security and achieve justice".
The victim's family refused offers of "blood money" by which they would receive financial compensation in return for not demanding the death sentence,Al-Arabiya reported.

The law...should have no respect for persons as seen in saner climes!

This is called justice

The only way this is possible is because he murdered an influential person, hypocrites

it will never happen in Nigeria

But it is rare for royal family members to be executed,

this is what we've been yearning for over the years. What's saucy for the goose should be saucy for gander too.

The victims family refuse a huge amount not to demand for execution but here in Nigeria the judges are the one to collect the amount and set the man FREE by saying he is insane!

Who could be more influential than a prince outside the royal family in a country that practises monarchy? Some of you are just making unreasonable comments.

BALLOSKI:

Bro, his compatriot can't be a commoner

OK

Others will sit up to avoid being found wanting.
