The judge has also told reporters that the accused man was killed in the town and that they have also flogged four other people including a woman who were accused of different kinds of crimes that they committed in the town.
It is the second execution that al Shabaab administrators in Baidoa fulfilled since they seized the town in late January 2009.
Baidoa was the seat of Somali parliament for two years before the Ethiopian troops withdrew. The parliament is currently based in Mogadishu but they can not meet for security reasons.
