Saudi royalty murders gay servant

What, the morality police did not get to this royal loser in Saudia Arabia? What is up with that? This was brutal crime where the victim was beaten for a full minutes inside an elevator. The death penalty is too good for someone like this.


"Saud Abdulaziz dominated the victim who appeared submissive in his presence. During the trial, the prosecution also stated that they had a homosexual relationship and argued that there was a sexual element to the murder.


The defendant used his position of power over the victim to gratuitously inflict violence upon him over a long period of time," Detective Chief Inspector John McFarlane, who led the investigation, told British reporters.


"After the victim's body was discovered he made every effort to evade justice, including misleading police by alleging that the victim had been robbed and then trying to claim diplomatic immunity, which he was not entitled to in the UK," he stated. From Examiner.com.

Saudi Prince convicted of killing gay manservant
By Jim Kouri

A London jury delivered a guilty verdict to a member of the Saudi royal family on Tuesday, convicting him of killing his manservant in a London hotel room. The prosecution argued that the Saudi prince and the victim pursued a homosexual relationship.


Thirty-four year old Prince Saud Bin Abdulaziz Bin Nasir Bin Abdulaziz al Saud was found guilty of the murder of his alleged lover, 32-year-old Bandar Abdullah Abdulaziz, at the Landmark Hotel on February 15, 2010. He was also found guilty of the charge of grievous bodily harm of his victim.


Saud Abdulaziz stayed at the luxury hotel with the victim, described to police officers as a friend with whom he traveled.


On February 15, hotel security telephoned the London Ambulance Service and stated that Bandar Abdulaziz appeared to be dead. Paramedics responded to the Saudi prince's room where they discovered the lifeless body of the victim in bed. They pronounced the servant DOA (dead on arrival) and then contacted the Metropolitan Police.


Police investigators on the scene spoke to Saud Abdulaziz, as well as hotel staff. Saud Abdulaziz told the investigating officers that he had been drinking with the victim in the hotel bar until the early hours and stated that when he awoke he was unable to awaken his servant at 3.30 p.m.


The defendant claimed he telephoned a man who worked as his chauffeur during his stay, and told him Bandar was unwell. The man advised him to call reception for assistance and made his way to the hotel.


When he arrived at 4.30 p.m., the chauffeur was told by Saud Abdulaziz that he had not contacted hotel staff. According to the London Times, the chauffeur stated he immediately contacted reception and checked Bandar Abdulaziz who appeared to be dead.


During the initial police interview, Saud Abdulaziz claimed that Bandar Abdulaziz had been attacked and robbed sometime between the 21st and 23rd of January in the Edgware Road area of London. He claimed his servant's death was due to injuries sustained during the alleged robbery that occurred more than three weeks earlier.


The medical examiner who visited the crime scene told officers that the victim appeared to have suffered from injuries within the last 24 hours, consistent with being punched and kicked. Meanwhile, investigators began viewing videotapes from the hotel security's CCTV system.


Video footage from about 4 a.m. on January 22 showed Saud Abdulaziz subjecting the victim to a beating for two minutes in a hotel elevator. The victim is seen in the video cowering while attempting prevent blows to his head and face, according to the London Times.


Further CCTV footage showed another assault by Saud Abdulaziz on the victim in the elevator on February 5.


Police arrested Saud Abdulaziz and he was taken to the police station that evening and he was interrogated the following day. During that interview, he continued to claim that the victim had been attacked during an earlier robbery, which had resulted in the injuries and a large quantity of cash being stolen.


Police records did not show any evidence of the Saud Abdulaziz alleged robbery. The police investigation revealed that the victim had been treated at St Mary's Hospital for an ear injury and was discharged on February 10. Police said they believed the injury was inflicted by the defendant, along with other injuries over a sustained period of abuse.


A thorough autopsy strongly suggested the cause of death as compression to the neck and head injury. A series of injuries were found. The medical examiner told the news media that the fatal injuries were recent and could not be attributed to any earlier robbery, as maintained by the Saudi prince.


Crime scene investigators reported that in the hotel suite there was evidence that attempts had been made to clean up blood evidence and that the victim's body had been dragged from the bathroom into the hallway, to the bedroom and on to the bed in an attempt to make it look as if the victim died in his sleep.


Investigators from the Metropolitan Police Service's Homicide Command also believe prince's and manservant's relationship was that of "master and servant."


Saud Abdulaziz dominated the victim who appeared submissive in his presence. During the trial, the prosecution also stated that they had a homosexual relationship and argued that there was a sexual element to the murder.


"The defendant used his position of power over the victim to gratuitously inflict violence upon him over a long period of time," Detective Chief Inspector John McFarlane, who led the investigation, told British reporters.


"After the victim's body was discovered he made every effort to evade justice, including misleading police by alleging that the victim had been robbed and then trying to claim diplomatic immunity, which he was not entitled to in the UK," he stated.


Saud initially believed he had diplomatic immunity but soon discovered he did not have it in Britain.
