The trio had been convicted of the sex slaying of Mosad Saleh al-Mothana.

Yemeni cops forced the trio — dressed in blue overalls — to lie face down on a mat as the throng howled for blood.

Yemen also recently executed another child killer in public in much the same manner. Hussein al-Saket, 22, was hanged after being convicted of abducting, raping and murdering a four-year-old girl.

The victim’s uncle, Ali Ayedh, said Saket “took part in the search for the girl before being unmasked” as the real killer during the probe.

He said his public execution would act as a “deterrent for criminals.”
