Video Shows Saudi Prince Beating Aide Prior to ‘Sexual Assault’ Killing

LONDON (AP) — Security camera footage captured a Saudi prince savagely beating his servant in a luxury hotel elevator only weeks before the aide was slain, a British prosecutor said Tuesday.

Video Shows Saudi Prince Beating Aide Prior to Sexual Assault KillingPrince Saud Abdulaziz bin Nasser al Saud is accused of murdering Bandar Abdullah Abdulaziz in a frenzied sex attack at London’s Landmark Hotel Feb. 15. Abdulaziz was found beaten and strangled to death in the room the two shared at London’s Landmark Hotel.

Prosecutor Jonathan Laidlaw told London’s Central Criminal Court Abdulaziz there was evidence of a sexual assault, including bite marks on the victim’s cheeks.

Laidlaw also said there was evidence that the 34-year-old royal, whose grandfather is a brother of the current Saudi king, had abused his aide in the past, showing jurors video shot in the Landmark’s elevator which appears to show the shaven-headed prince, dressed in white, throwing his 32-year-old servant around and battering him.

Abdulaziz, dressed in black, occasionally tries to protect his head but otherwise meekly absorbs the punches.

“It is a nasty assault with the victim suffering a whole series of blows being struck with both fists and elbows,” Laidlaw said. “What is also evident Video Shows Saudi Prince Beating Aide Prior to Sexual Assault Killingfrom the victim’s behavior is that he had become by this point almost entirely submissive.

“He either could not or did not at any stage offer any sort of resistance to the assault, attempt to fight back or even raise his hand to the defendant.”

Al Saud originally told police that he and Abdulaziz had been drinking into the early hours of the morning, and that when he awoke at 3 p.m. he could not rouse him.

But Laidlaw said Al Saud has admitted manslaughter but denied charges of murder and causing grievous bodily harm.

The defense has yet to present its case.

    The unfortunate thing about the third world countries is that atrocities like this are normal. That’s throughout many oppressive cultures, such as many seen in the arab world.

    It is estimated that in the arab world, 75% of the population has gone through something here in the US would cause PTSD. Here this is horrific–there it is absolutely normal. Not a good thing, by any means.

    This, in the video, is a result of sexual oppression [by that I mean, men are punished as are women when they even /look/ at each other] and the very belief that a person you hire isn’t an employee but a possession. When you own something, you can do whatever you want to it right?

    Yeah, it’s a messed up world.

    ALSO: For the love of all that is holy, can we try not to sound so bigoted? Do a little research and meet some muslims, before you actually yell so much hate. You don’t have to like what they believe, but sheesh, try to understand first. There is nothing wrong with being adamant about what you believe, and Lord knows I’m not advocating anything PC; but understand what and whom you are insulting. The hate you shout is the same rhetoric spouted by those who hate us and wish to see us, as a people and a nation, die. Try not to be them.

      In fact, telling us we “don’t understand“ and accusing us of ”hate” just shows that you are the same kind of mental midget as the killer. You don’t belong, you don’t deserve to live among us. Go home!

      “Do a little research and meet some Muslims” I have done research, and of all ironies, one of there best forms of deception is “Takiyya”. Takiyya, is the Islamic teaching that basically says it is OK to lie to non-muslims, no matter the topic. Takiyya says you can make promises and contracts with infidels and Allah says it’s ok to ignore them and breach those contracts, including treaties. Takiyya is the means to act one way towards an infidel in their own nation of infidels and to then be truly different in private with other Muslims. In other words, you can act all “Ghandi” to infidels in public but in private plot their demise without batting an eyelash.

      In other words, those that want to fly airliners into skyscrapers to kill people will also have infidel “friends” that had no idea who they really were. They would have seemed like the most polite and meek person to you in public, but then be in a mosque learning how to overthrow the government and kill many innocents, and this would be completely normal for a follower of Islam.

      They think we’re so stupid that they even through the very word “takkiya” a spelling variation of “takiyya” in your face while exclaiming “allahu akbar”. No, the Qur’an is a book written by a warlord pedophile. The Islamic teachings are for conquering the world in the most brutal method available. History shows this with the invasion of the west during the dark ages and beyond, and was the reason for the crusades which threw out the Muslim invaders. 90% of the large muslim mosques throughout the world were built upon the most holy places of the conquered.

      “Religion of peace”, my butt.

    I don’t understand, don’t pretend too. The legal book should be thrown at him and he should be put away for life, but who knows what will really happen. The sexual assult could be only something to demean and denagrade the servant not a sex act or sexual involvement. To them this type of treatment of a servant is ok, he is after all a Prince.

While they claim tolerance means accepting a Mosque being built in NYC and attack Christians who only want to bring our country back to a sound moral foundation, they pander to animals like this man.

      You are probably correct. This slave was in deep and his family, possibly w/o knowing it, was, and may still be, in danger. But speaking of family…….I took this from The Breitbart story on the Drudge site.

      “His father is a nephew of King Abdullah and his mother is one of the king’s daughters. ”

      Doesn’t this mean his mother is also his great aunt? Just questioning!

      Won‘t the Saudi’s kill this prince now? Isn’t being gay in Islam punishable by hanging?

      Its interesting that so many liberals will attack Christianity, a religion that believes in forgiveness and turning the other cheek. They won’t however speak up against Islam which believes in killing those who are gay/lesbian, who will subvert and demean woman as dogs and will kill all athiests and agnostics for they believe in nothing according to Islam.

      Then again, Christians will turn the other cheek when attacked, Muslims will just kill if you even say something bad about them…. this cowering and cowardness will be the undoing of the liberals as they will be the first in line that the Muslims and Sharia Law will target for execution first…

      This man should be charged with the crimes he has commited, yet as usual it seems that another leader of a foreign land will conveinently get away with their crimes commited due to the usual excuses of “Diplomatic Immunity” Something the UN countries do all too often in America. Much to my disgust. Also, these people are the leaders of a Islamic nation, and our government wants to impose upon us Americans the Sharia law?

      I beg your pardon, Blaze people, but those with diplomatic immunity get charged all the time for crimes they commit here. They simply “go away” when it gets close to time to go to trial; the country in question rattles their swords and starts squawking about diplomatic immunity. Check the records and see the truth.

And as far as the sexual assault, The homosexual rape is also well documented in their culture. While I may not agree with homosexuality as a lifestyle (Not what I would choose for myself) and I reserve the right to speak my mind on the subject. Nobody should be brutalized and then raped.
