| Saudi prince strangled servant at London hotel: court |
| 2010-10-06 |
| A gay Saudi prince beat and strangled his male servant to death in a frenzied sexual assault at their luxury London hotel suite, a court heard on Tuesday. Saud Bin Abdulaziz Bin Nasir al Saud, 34, who is a grandson of Saudi Arabia's King Abdullah, killed Bandar Abdullah Abdulaziz on February 15 after abusing him for weeks, the court heard. The 32-year-old victim was found with severe injuries including bite marks on his cheeks in a bloodstained bed in the suite at the Landmark Hotel, which he was sharing with the prince, prosecutors said. Prosecutor Jonathan Laidlaw told the jury at the Old Bailey in London, England's Central Criminal Court, that Saud had admitted the lesser charge of manslaughter but denied murder and a separate count of grievous bodily harm. Laidlaw said the two men had been staying together at the hotel for nearly a month as part of an "extended holiday" that had also taken them to Italy, Hungary, the Czech Republic and Morocco. |

| #2 bite marks on the cheeks. One day the decadent princelings of the House of Saud will lose control of their country. Then the people in control of a quarter of the world's known oil reserves will be rabid Islamists who want a global caliphate that resembles the 14th Century. |

| #1 It's just part of their culture! When will the British understand? Stop being so intolerant! If we actually had Real Journalists[tm] they would be all over this, exposing cognitive dissonance among the P.C. elite. Since journalists, by definition, are part of the P.C. elite, of course they will make one report and then this story will Disappear[tm]. |
