Medlemmer av den herskende eliten i den arabiske verden som går amok på internasjonale hoteller er et fenomen: nylig ble tjeneren til en saudi-arabisk prins funnet drept på et luksus-hotell i London.

A member of the Saudi royal family is being quizzed by police on suspicion of murder tonight after one of his servants was found battered to death at a top London hotel.

Police were called to the five-star Landmark Hotel in Marylebone after a 32-year-old man was battered to death in one of the hotel’s luxury suites.

The victim, a Saudi Arabian man believed to be part of the royal’s entourage, suffered severe head injuries in the attack.

Tonight detectives were quizzing a wealthy man in his 30s who told them he was a member of the Saudi Arabian royal family.

It is thought that the unnamed royal had not claimed diplomatic immunity following his arrest on Monday evening.

Paramedics were called to a third floor room of the hotel at 4.45pm on Monday, but they found the man was already dead.

Police were awaiting the results of a postmortem examination held earlier today before releasing further details.

Tonight a section of the hotel’s third floor was screened off from view of guests as police photographed the scene.

The death has shocked staff and guests at the prestigious hotel which is popular with celebrities.

Prinsen ble satt i varetekstsfengsel 22. februar.
