3 Algerians sentenced to death for murder

Three Algerians accused of abducting and killing a young man one year ago in the Kabylie region have been handed the death penalty, Algerian media reported on Tuesday. They were given the death penalty, which is still on Algeria's statute books, although no execution has been carried out since 1993. Ghilas Hadjou, 19, the son of a businessman in the coastal town of Azeffoune, was kidnapped on October 18 last year. He was lured to the house of one of the three murder suspects, then under construction, where he was severely beaten and strangled, according to the police.
