Death AND crucifixion?
They hung his dead body on a cross afterwards?
I dunno...
I imagine a lot of Christians are going to get upset about the idea of a cross being used this way, but the truth of the matter is, it was the standard Roman method of execution.
In this case, I am not going to say it was inappropriate. This person deserved all the suffering he received before he was cast into the pit.
finally the saudi’s did something right
The problem is that the courts there are not to be trusted, especially if it is a foreign worker involved. Often the worker is beaten into “confessing” to his or her crime.
If true, he deserves the death penalty, but I wouldn’t consider it true until I saw evidence...
A Sudanese man was beheaded and then crucified in Saudi Arabia
Why didn’t they shoot him afterward?
There are 600 in California awaiting their sentence .
Cross’s are reusable.
you will get the most benefit by Crucifying the perp FIRST...than before he is dead from the crucifixion...Behead the dirtbag.
do we have to tell these people everything?
My favorite line from Monty Python’s Life of Brian — “Nail him up I say, nail some sense into him!” I think we should abolish the 8th amendment and bring back crucifixion for all these monsters inhabiting the prisons at our expense. Cost of crucifixion? Practically nothing as many of the nails would be re-useable. When I was a prosecutor I once asked that the sentence be crucifixion. Sadly, the judge told me he didn’t have that authority.
Anyone who would rape a corpse is brain damaged to begin with.
Beheading then crucifixion?
That’s just wrong.
He should have been crucified for a day or two, then cut down and beheaded.
I wonder if the woman had survived the attack if they would of killed her also.
I think they got it backwards. I don;t think the perp cared a great deal about the crucifiction AFTER he was beheaded. At that point, it was just for sh*ts and giggles.
Crucifixion used in this way is similar to the old European practice of gibbeting or “hanging in chains.” The purpose was not execution but rather the public display of the state’s power.
The Jews apparently used crucifixion in exactly this way, with the perp stoned to death and then hung up on a cross as a warning to others.

Hold on. Dude was convicted, executed, THEN he stole money and tried to kill others?
Tough dude.
