The Indonesian government has agreed to pay £1.1million ($2.1m AU) to stop the execution of an Indonesian house maid in Saudi Arabia.
Satinah Binti Jumadi Ahmad, 41, has been on death row since 2011 when she was found guilty of killing her employer's wife and stealing 37,970 riyal (£5640, $10,125 AU) in 2007. She has always claimed that she acted in self defence.
The family of the murdered woman agreed to settle for seven million riyal in 'blood money' instead of the execution of Ms Ahmad, an acceptable exchange under Islamic sharia law.
The Indonesian government managed to negotiate the payment down from the 10 million riyal which had been originally requested by the The al-Garib family in 2011.
