2666. It was narrated from Anas bin Mâlik that a Jew killed a girl for her jewelry. He asked her (as she was dying): "Did so-and-so kill you?" and she gestured with her head to say no. Then he asked her again, and she gestured with her head to say no. He asked her a third time and she gestured with her head to say yes. So the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ killed him (by crushing his head) between two rocks. (Sahih)

Commentary
Killing between two rocks means putting the head on one rock and hitting it with another rock, by which she was severely wounded and died.
The killer should be killed in the same way as he killed.
