Ginbitay ang isa ka Filipino sa Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
Suno kay Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) Undersecretary Eduardo de Vega, ang nasambit nga Filipino ang ginpamatbatan nga guilty sang murder bangud sa pagpatay sa isa ka Saudi national.
“No official confirmation from Saudi authorities yet but yes, our Embassy in Riyadh reports that there was an execution. It was for murder of a Saudi national over money.”
Gin-athag ni de Vega nga ginhimo nila ang tanan agud masalbar ang nasambit nga Filipino lakip na ang pagpadala sang presidential letter of appeal, apang wala ini nangin madinalag-on.
“We did all we could: court appeal, presidential letter of appeal, trying to get the victim’s family to accept blood money. In the end, our efforts were not successful as the victim’s family wanted the death penalty instead of accepting blood money.”
Naghingyo naman suno sa opisyal ang pamilya sang ginpatay nga Filipino nga indi na pagpagwa sa publiklo.
“Out of deference to their wishes, and out of respect to their privacy, we will withhold details on the case. We appeal to the media and the public to understand and heed the wishes of the family.”
