Saudi Man Marries Principal, Teacher, Student, and Education Supervisor from Same School
Originally reported by Saudi daily Okaz, the man is also said to be married to a fourth woman who serves as an educational supervisor, allegedly at the same school. The resurfacing of the case online has once again turned the spotlight on the man's complex family structure and its implications within the educational environment. The article was published in 2012 on the Saudi Gazette and Al Arabia
Despite the unconventional arrangement, reports at the time stated that the principal maintained a professional relationship with both the teacher and the student, despite all three being married to the same man. One of the wives, who works as a teacher, told Okaz she made no distinction between her co-wives and other colleagues at the school.
While polygamy is legally permitted in Saudi Arabia (allowing men to marry up to four women), the overlap of roles within the same school has made this case particularly striking.

Saudi Student Fatally Stabbed in Cambridge, Police Arrest Two
LONDON, Aug 3: A 20-year-old Saudi student was tragically stabbed to death in the historic city of Cambridge on Friday night, prompting a major murder investigation. Emergency services rushed to Mill Park at 11:27 p.m. on August 1 following reports of a violent incident. The young man was found with critical injuries and despite efforts to save him, was pronounced dead just after midnight. Though British authorities have yet to officially name the victim, prominent Saudi news outlets Al-Ekhbariya and Al-Arabiya identified him as Mohammed Al-Qasim. Cambridgeshire Police confirmed that a 21-year-old man from Cambridge has been arrested on suspicion of murder. A second man, aged 50, was also detained on suspicion of assisting the offender. Both remain in custody at Thorpe Wood Police Station. 'We would like to thank the public for their support and assistance following our appeal,' said Detective Inspector Dale Mepstead of the Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire, and Hertfordshire Major Crime Unit. 'The investigation remains ongoing and we continue to urge anyone with information to come forward.' Al-Qasim was reportedly a student at EF International Language Campuses in Cambridge, which released a statement expressing deep sorrow over the incident. 'We are deeply saddened at the death of one of our adult students,' the school said, calling the event an 'isolated incident' and offering counselling to affected students and staff. 'Our thoughts are with the student's loved ones during this incredibly difficult time,' the school added. Police are urging witnesses or anyone with information to come forward via or by calling 101 and quoting Operation Brackley. The incident has sent shockwaves through the student community in Cambridge and among Saudis abroad, as the investigation into this senseless act of violence continues.

He Wrote Poems, Not Truth: Saudi Poet's Double Life Ends In Life Sentence
KUWAIT CITY, July 31: The Criminal Court, headed by Counselor Abdulwahab Al-Muaili, sentenced a well-known Saudi poet to life imprisonment for forging Kuwaiti citizenship and embezzling public funds. The court also imposed a fine of KD1,793,000 and ordered him to return the money he obtained unlawfully. Investigations revealed that the accused obtained Kuwaiti citizenship in 1995, at the age of 34. After being added to the file of a deceased Kuwaiti citizen, he changed his name, renounced his Saudi citizenship, and obtained a birth certificate dated 1972, although he was born 11 years earlier. The decision to withdraw citizenship included his 27 children (male and female), because their nationality is linked to his forged citizenship; the case documents showed that the accused left Kuwait in 2016, and his citizenship was withdrawn in June 2024.

Saudi Arabia Carries Out Death Sentence For Terror-Related Crimes
RIYADH, July 29: Saudi Arabia has executed a man convicted of a string of deadly terrorist crimes, including manufacturing and supplying explosives, plotting to kill security personnel, and financing extremist groups. Ahmed bin Mohammed bin Hassan Al Hammadi, a Saudi national, was put to death on Tuesday in the Eastern Province after the Supreme Court upheld a discretionary death sentence issued by the Kingdom's counter-terror court. According to the Ministry of Interior, Al Hammadi was found guilty of joining terrorist organizations and orchestrating attacks that aimed to destabilize society, disrupt public order, and kill law enforcement officers. Authorities said he was also involved in the production and transport of explosive materials, and provided weapons and explosives to known terrorist elements. He was accused of harboring suspects and funding extremist operations. Security forces eventually arrested Al Hammadi, and following a detailed investigation, he was referred to the judiciary. The verdict was upheld at multiple levels of appeal, and a royal decree ordered the sentence to be carried out in accordance with Islamic Sharia law. In a strongly worded statement, the Interior Ministry emphasized the Kingdom's commitment to upholding national security. It warned that anyone attempting to endanger innocent lives or incite terror would face severe consequences. 'The government of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is determined to ensure the safety of its people and will implement the laws of Islamic Sharia on those who spill innocent blood or threaten public peace,' the statement read. The ministry also cited several Quranic verses condemning corruption and violence on earth, reinforcing the theological basis behind the decision. The execution is part of Saudi Arabia's broader strategy to confront terrorism with zero tolerance and send a strong message to would-be offenders that such crimes will not go unpunished.
