Saud Abdulaziz bin Nasser al Saud has been found guilty of attacking and murdering his servant, Bandera Abdulaziz. The attack took place last February at a hotel in central London after a Valentine's day excursion. Al Saud had been under the influence of many alcoholic drinks before proceeding to beat and ultimately kill Abdulaziz. The relationship between Al Saud and his servant was previously abusive with many reported beatings and attacks for his own personal gratification. It is speculated that the two may have been sexually involved with one another. The prince originally denied the murder, but did admit to a count of manslaughter. Immediately following Abdulaziz's death, he spent a considerable amount of time conversing with a contact in Saudi Arabia attempting to conceal the murder from the public. He was ultimately found guilty after tapes of the beating surfaced from the hotel. Al Saud will be sentenced later this week, and will likely face a long term in jail. A return to his home country is unlikely, as acts of homosexuality are punished with death.
