Saudi twins on trial for killing mother on Daesh order

Their mother had become aware of their inclination for Daesh and had warned them.

The Saudi twin brothers, Khaled and Saleh, who are accused of killing their mother in Riyadh stood trial at the Specialized Criminal Court on Tuesday.
The brothers killed their mother and even tried to murder their father and brother on the orders of the militant organisation, Daesh, according to reports in Arab News. The murder was committed on June 2016 in Riyadh's Al-Hamra area. 
They stand accused of killing their mother, attacking their father, brother with an intent to kill them and stealing a car to escape.  During the session, the public prosecution asked for the death penalty against the twins. 
Their mother had become aware of their inclination for Daesh and was persuading them to change their paths. She also threatened to expose them to the security authorities. This threat drew them to kill their own mother. 
The murder was committed after the brothers called her into a storeroom and stabbed her. Their little sister survived their angst by locking herself in a room.
The publication also reported the twins were outstanding performers in their academics.
