Шаблон:Expand French Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Infobox royalty Dhu Shanatir (Шаблон:Lang-ar), also spelled Zu Shenatir, was a Hemyarite king who ruled Yemen for 27 years. He was not from the royal family (Tubba').[1] He was known as "The Man with Earrings".[2]

He is known as one of the first recorded serial killers.[3] He lured young boys from the royal family into his home with the promise of food and money,[4] stripped them naked and sodomized them. He then killed them by throwing them naked out of an upper-story window of his home. He was only stopped when Zara'h (Dhu Nuwas)[5] stabbed him.[6] Following his assassination, Dhu Shanatir's severed head was displayed from the palace window and Dhu Nawas assumed rulership of the Himyarite Kingdom.[7][8][9]
