    Five people were beheaded in Saudi Arabia for killing an Indian during an armed robbery, the interior ministry announced on Monday.
     
    The convicts - two from Yemen and one each from Chad, Eritrea and Sudan - were executed in the western coastal city of Jeddah, the ministry said.
     
    No further details of the case were provided, other than that the armed robbery took place in a store.

    Murder, apostasy, armed robbery and drug trafficking are all punishable with death.
