Mohammed bin Abdullah Al-Jirani was a judge, in Saudi Arabia, who was kidnapped, and murdered, by terrorists.[1]
Al-Jirani had been appointed a judge in the Endowments and Inheritance Department, and, according to the Saudi Gazette, had survived three previous attempts on his life.[1] The Saudi Gazette described him as outspoken in his criticism of Iran.
Al-Jirani's house was set on fire in 2011.[2] Armed men unsuccessfully attacked his home in 2012. The successful capture took place on December 13, 2016.[3] His post-mortem suggested he had been tortured prior to his execution.
Al-Jirani's body was discovered on December 25, 2017, and three men suspected of playing a role in his murder were apprehended: Abdullah Ali Ahmed Al-Dirweesh, Mazen Ali Ahmed and Mustapha Ahmed Salman Al-Sahwanb.[1] Other suspects remained at large, including: Mohammed Hussain Ali Al-Ammar, Maitham Ali Mohammed Al-Qidaihji, Ali Bilal Saud Al-Hamad, Zaki Mohammed Salman Al-Faraj and Salman bin Ali Salman Al-Faraj.[4]
Al-Ammar was captured, following a shoot-out, on January 8, 2020.[5] Saudi authorities described him as the "mastermind".
On September 30, 2018, King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud posthumously awarded al-Jirani a First Class of King Abdulaziz Medal.[6]
