Saudi prince jailed in Britain for murder flies home

March 21, 2013 01:20

A Saudi prince jailed for life in Britain for murdering his servant has been flown home to serve the rest of his sentence, the British government said today.

Prince Saud bin Abdulaziz bin Nasir, a grandson of Saudi Arabia's King Abdullah, was jailed in 2010 for killing Bandar Abdullah Abdulaziz in a London hotel after subjecting him to a "sadistic" campaign of violence and sexual abuse.

But Britain's Ministry of Justice confirmed that the 36-year-old royal flew back to Saudi Arabia on Monday after he was granted a transfer to a prison in his homeland.
