Adventures of Saudi Princes

"Bandar Abdulaziz, 32, was found beaten and strangled to death in the Landmark Hotel, Marylebone, central London, on 15 February.  The court was told Saud Abdulaziz bin Nasser al Saud had carried out several assaults on the victim before he died.  Mr al Saud, 34, admits the killing but denies murder and one count of grievous bodily harm with intent.  The jury has been asked to decide whether he is guilty of manslaughter or murder. When the body was found the prince claimed his aide had been attacked and robbed three weeks before his death.  But the jury was told Mr al-Saud carried out the killing - and injuries including bite marks to Mr Abdulaziz's face showed the "ferocity of the attack to which he had been subjected".
Jonathan Laidlaw QC, prosecuting, said hotel CCTV from 22 January revealed the victim had previously been subjected to a "really nasty assault" by the prince." (thanks Nabeel)
