Gay Saudi Prince Beats Lover/Servant to Death


Prince Saud Bin Abdulaziz Bin Nasir Al Saud, a grandson of King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia, had a long standing abusive relationship with Bandar Abdulaziz which culminated in the Bandar's brutal death last February. During trial yesterday in London, it was revealed that the prince strangled and beat Bandar to death during an apparent gay sex attack in a London hotel room.
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. Saud had claimed the pair were friends and that he was heterosexual, but the court heard the prince had ordered gay escorts in London and had frequently looked at websites for gay massage parlors and escort agencies. "The defendant's concealing of the sexual aspect to his abuse of the victim was for altogether more sinister reasons and it tends to suggest that there was a sexual element to the circumstances of the killing," said Laidlaw. Bloodstains found on the pillow and the room were "consistent with the victim having been the subject of a series of separate assaults before he was killed", he added. Saud told police they drank at the hotel bar until the early hours of the morning on February 15 before returning to the room and that when he woke in the afternoon he could not rouse the victim the court heard. The prince was "shocked and upset" and had tried to clean up some of the blood and wash some of Abdulaziz's bloodstained clothing when hotel staff and a Saudi embassy staffer came to the room, Laidlaw said. A post-mortem found that Abdulaziz had suffered heavy blows to the head, injuries to the brain and ears and severe neck injuries which were "consistent with an episode of manual compression". There were also bite marks on the cheeks which had "an obvious sexual connotation", Laidlaw said. The injuries showed the "ferocity of the attack to which he had been subjected," he added. The prince had attacked his servant on several previous occasions, including one that was caught on security camera footage in the hotel's lift in January [watch it above], he said. The jury was shown the footage in which Abdulaziz was seen cowering as Saud rained blows on his head.
This is all so sad. How You Doin', Prince Saud. Alllrrriiight.
