He had an affair with his servant. The prince was physically abusive toward the servant who allowed the prince to beat him up and abuse him.

The servant was found murdered in a sadistic way in a London hotel suite.

And they're trying to downplay this crime in the news.

Yes, ruling came down today.

Brutal way the servant died. And these "princes/princesses" are NOTORIOUS for abusing their servants.

This one went too far. I hope he gets the death penalty. But I don't think they have it in Britain.

I've gotta search that one up.

I don't think so but the one consolation is he was in Britian and not Saudi where he more than likely would have gotten away with it or a mere slap on the wrist

But he does face death if he returns to saudi but not for murder but for being gay...unreal

In addition to sheer cruelty and denegrating actions, I think there is a true belief that "the" prince as well as others in a similar capacity believe they are either 'above the law', justified in their actions, don't need to be held accountable, excel at blame but primarily, believe because of their social strata they ARE above the law and mixing that ingredient with power, total disregard for another's life/person, well...there you have it....

Here's the final verdict.

Quote:
A gay Saudi prince has been jailed for life today with a minimum term of 20 years for beating and strangling his servant to death in the culmination of a campaign of 'sadistic' abuse.

Saud Abdulaziz bin Nasser al Saud was found guilty at the Old Bailey of murdering Bandar Abdulaziz in a 'brutal' assault at their five-star hotel suite.

The prince was fuelled by champagne and 'sex on the beach' cocktails when he bit the 32-year-old hard on both cheeks during the attack in February.

It was also revealed he could seek asylum upon release, because homosexuality is punishable by death in his home country.

We don't have the death penalty here, and I personally don't agree with it. What I disagree with even more though is us having to pay hundreds of thousands to keep him locked up all those years when he would never have been allowed to live here anyway if it wasn't for his money. And after all that we're supposed to let him stay on living here afterwards as if he'd ever add anything to our country? Strange world.

I feel your pain..our jails are filled with illegals as if paying for our own native born crimianals isn't enough.......
and I suppose your prison will segregate him from other muslims for his own protection as he was gay...we would more than likely do so as well ~~~~~SIGH~~~~~

Ah, at least he's going to have to pay for the cost of his own prosecution. No idea why really, as I'm sure that's not standard procedure.

If anyone can afford to pay for the prosecution it's him.

It's the very least he can do.
