Saudi Arabia executed four murderers who dressed in women's clothing to bait their victim, rob and kill him, reports AFP.
The sentences against the four, all Saudis, were carried out in the eastern town of Qatif, the ministry said in a statement carried by the official Saudi Press Agency.
Their beheadings bring to 25 the number of people executed in the kingdom this year, according to an AFP tally.
Saudi Arabia is constantly facing international criticism over its human rights record, including its use of the death penalty.
