Horrific Moment Woman is Beheaded for murdering and sexually abusing her six-year-old step-daughter in Saudi Arabia

A woman named Layla bint Abdul Mutaleb Bassim was executed in Mecca, the holy city after she was found guilty of beating the girl and raping her with a broomstick. The execution took two swings to hack off  her head and the incident has sparked outrage in the country, but not because of the brutal punishment meted out.

Rather Saudis are up in arms that the execution was filmed and posted online, where the woman's family might see it. Now Saudi authorities have arrested someone for filming the execution, local media reports. But it was not clear what crime he has been arrested for.

'I did not kill. There is no God but God. I did not kill,' cries Bassim, who is dressed entirely in black and is kneeling on the pavement circled by police officers.

'Haram. Haram. Haram. Haram. I did not kill. I do not forgive you. This is injustice

The last words of convicted murderer Layla bint Abdul Mutaleb Bassim

'I do not forgive you ... This is an injustice,' she screams in the video, which was posted online on Saturday.

The executioner, dressed in a white robe, forces her to lie down on the ground.

'I did not,' she continues before a final scream as the executioner swings his curved sword into her neck. His first blow fails to severe Bassim's head entirely and he has to swing again before she is decapitated.

Saudi authorities identified Bassim as holding Burmese nationality but did not specify if she was from its Rohingya Muslim community. The United Nations describes Rohingya as one of the world's most persecuted minorities.
