A Saudi citizen was executed Wednesday for drug trafficking.

The sentence against Khaled Al-Rowaili was carried out a day after the execution of an Indonesian domestic worker for murder.

Rowaili was convicted of smuggling amphetamine pills and was executed in the northwestern region of Al-Jouf, according to a statement from the Interior Ministry.

He was the 61st person executed in the kingdom so far this year, according to an Agence France Presse tally.

Al-Rowaili's beheading by the sword follows the execution on Tuesday of Siti Zainab, a domestic worker convicted of stabbing and beating a Saudi woman to death.
