A Saudi prince who murdered a fellow Saudi may be executed, a newspaper reported on Sunday, in a rare example of a member of the kingdom's ruling family facing the death penalty.

The English-language Arab News did not name the prince or his victim, but said a senior member of the family and government, Crown Prince Salman, had "cleared the way for the possible execution of a prince convicted of murdering a Saudi citizen".

In a message about the case to Interior Minister Prince Mohammed bin Nayef, Prince Salman said: "Sharia (Islamic law) shall be applied to all without exception", the daily reported.

Sharia Law also allows for blood money...

Maybe the victim’s family is rich! ;)

It is ok to murder nearly 3,000 people on 9/11 in the USA and start a war that has cost thousands of more lives with not a single Saudi being executed for it but gosh they kill one of their own....

I busted a drunk royal and turned him over to the Capt who took him back home. He made two trips in a sack before he was dead. He washed out of pilot training. The rest was no problem.

It’s really too bad the same law does not exist for his lowness, obama.

Huh? You lost me with that post.

The Head preacher was told he was guilty so they took him to the top of the tower. They placed him in the bag and tossed him off. He was still alive so they did it again. That did the trick, it killed him. The Foreign Student Liaison Officer witnessed this and returned to Williams AFB.

Just damn!

Thanks for the response Domangart.
