BBC News - Sri Lankan maid Rizana Nafeek beheaded in Saudi Arabia

BBC News - Sri Lankan maid Rizana Nafeek beheaded in Saudi Arabia: "The maid, Rizana Nafeek, had denied killing the four-month-old boy.

Her supporters say she was only 17 at the time of the killing. They say her execution is a breach of international child rights.

The Sri Lankan government condemned the execution, which it said took place despite numerous clemency pleas.

The Saudi interior ministry said on Wednesday that Ms Nafeek was executed for smothering the infant after an argument with the child's mother in the town of al-Dwadmi."
