A Saudi prince has been executed for shooting a man dead during a mass brawl three years ago outside Riyadh.
Prince Turki bin Saud al-Kabir was put to death in the capital. No details were given as to how he was executed – most condemned people are beheaded.
The prince is the 134th person to be put to death this year, according to a tally compiled by the AFP news agency.
But it is rare for members of the royal family, who are estimated to number several thousand, to be executed.
