New Delhi, July 17 -- Hours after the Yemeni authorities deferred the execution of Indian nurse Nimisha Priya, the brother of the Yemeni man she murdered in 2017, said that his family does not wish anything less than the execution of the convict.

Priya's execution, originally scheduled for July 16, has been postponed. Hailing from Kollengode in Kerala's Palakkad district, she was found guilty of murdering Yemeni citizen, Talal Abdo Mahdi, in July 2017 by injecting him with sedatives.

Under the Islamic law, implemented in Yemen, a convict can escape punishment if the victim's family agrees to diyat, a form of financial compensation, in exchange for seeking qisas, or retribution.
