Whats the punishment for killing a Jew in Yemen?

A $250,000 fine. But I doubt the money will ever be collected Ynet News

A Yemeni court has ruled that a Muslim on trial for killing a Yemeni Jew is mentally incompetent and ordered h to pay a fine for the fatal shooting.

The slaying of Jewish teacher Moshe Yaish Nahari last December in Omran, north of the capital, San'a, raised fears of anti-Semitic attacks across the country.

Monday's ruling says the defendant – Abdel Aziz Yehia Hamoud al-Abdi, a retired pilot in the Yemeni air force – is "mentally unstable." It orders he pay a fine of 50.5 million riyals, or about $250,000.
