Man Butchers 15-Month-Old Nephew in Jeddah Supermarket Samir Al-Saadi, Arab News
JEDDAH, 3 March 2008 — Early morning shoppers at a supermarket in Jeddah were left reeling yesterday, with some falling unconscious, after a well-built Syrian man clinched a knife and decapitated his 15-month-old nephew in front of his mother in the store’s fruit and vegetable section.
In a brutal murder that has shocked the city, the 25-year-old man beheaded the boy, who was out shopping with his mother — in full glare of shoppers and staff at Al-Marhaba supermarket on Sari Street around 9.30 a.m. The man, who is the boy’s maternal uncle, apparently killed the boy following a dispute with his sister and brother-in-law.
Eyewitnesses said that the man picked up a knife from inside the store and severed the boy’s head. The mother and a shopper standing close by fainted, while several other stood in shock and disbelief over what had happened.
A police officer, who spoke on condition of anonymity, told Arab News, “The murderer was in a dispute with the boy’s mother and her husband. He chopped off the boy’s head in front of the mother to get back at her.” He added that the mother has been left traumatized and is in hospital. The boy’s father was at work at the time of the incident.
Following the murder, police sealed off the supermarket while forensic experts gathered evidence. Ambulances were also called to the scene. The supermarket reopened for business at around 1.15 p.m. “It happened so quickly. Before people could intervene, the man had cut more than half way through the child’s neck,” said Abu Muhammad, a grandfather in his mid-60s.
A Saudi till attendant at a nearby cafe said, “One of my colleagues went to see what was going on and returned shivering. He saw the kid’s body and so we gave him the day off. He was in a bad state.”
An eyewitness, who lives in the neighborhood, said that the victim’s family lived close by and frequented the supermarket. “I’ve seen the murderer carrying the same child and playing with him on a number of occasions,” he added.
“No one could bear the gruesome sight of the boy’s decapitated body lying on the floor,” said Muneer, a Turkish car mechanic, who works at a garage close by. “How could someone do such a thing? I just can’t understand it... I still can’t believe it,” he said, shaking his head.
When the store reopened, employees were still in a state of shock. A guard, standing at the entrance, stood frozen and oblivious to the rush of shoppers. Pain and anguish were writ large on his face.
What kind of person even thinks of such an action? I have been ticked off before, but sawing the head off a baby never even entered the realm of possible remedies. Seriously, what is wrong with him?

We rank #24. Saudi Arabia ranks #61. I take no pleasure in presenting the facts...
In the United States every one of our murders is counted. How many honor killings and family killings like this are actually reported in Saudi Arabia?
honor killing of some sort...the child broke something?
You can ask Obomer questions, well, half a question.
And life is cheap in the USA where 16.000 people are murdered each year and hundreds of thousands are killed by abortion.
How many babies were aborted in Saudi Arabia today?

"When was the last time you saw children killed in the USA purely to HURT the offending party?"
Sadly,it really happens all the time. This one was reported in January. There was another one in the later part of February on an Air Force base in Oklahoma.

I dunno...I've read some really horrifying baby murder stories from the U.S. here on this board over the past few weeks. It seems like there are psychopaths all over the place these days, in every country.
Of course horrible things have never been done to children in this country. This man will probably be executed in our country he would be declared insane and spend the rest of his life (hopefully) behind bars.
This is the philosophy of life that can transform a person into a hate-filled, angry, violent, uncivilized savage who has no problem murdering a child. This is the cult of death - a world domination movement cleverly disguised as a religion.
A civilized society would have drowned him in a bathtub or put him in a microwave.
I guess that you dn’t read about the horrible things done in the US on an almost daily basis.
Switch out the knife for a gun, and it sounds like the good ol’ U.S.A.
“What are you talking about? Children in this country are murdered all the time - being Muslim has nothing to do with it.”
Yes... the man was just performing a post-partum abortion.
