KEY POINTS:
Saudi authorities beheaded an Indonesian maid convicted of killing her employer, the Interior Ministry announced.
The ministry said the maid used a pillow to suffocate her employer, Aisha Al Makhaled, and then stole her jewellery in the southern province of Asir.
Saudi Arabia follows a strict interpretation of Islam under which those convicted of murder, drug trafficking, rape and armed robbery are executed in public with a sword.
The maid is the second person to be executed this year.
