“A young Saudi Arabian boy has been spared execution for shooting dead an elderly relative after mistaking her for a monkey………. Sabq daily newspaper reported that the boy killed his relative, who was in her 60s, while she was collecting leaves from a tree to feed to her sheep. It is believed that he shot her from a distance after mistaking her for a monkey trying to damage one of the neighbourhood’s trees…………..”

I wonder how the Saudi equivalent of the NRA is spinning this one. It doesn’t say how old/young the poor boy is. The little unfortunate schmuck did add insult to fatal injury with his explanation.
