British Teacher Murder: Qatari Man Sentenced

A man from Qatar has been sentenced to death by a Doha court for the murder last year of 24-year-old British teacher Lauren Patterson.

A second Qatari national, Mohammed Hasan Abdulaziz, was given three years in prison for aiding Badr Khamis Abdullah Hashim in "burning the body of Lauren Patterson and erasing evidence" of the murder, a judicial source said.

The men were arrested after the teacher's charred remains were found by campers near Doha.

Ms Patterson, 24, who taught at Newton British School in Doha, was last seen leaving the night club of a luxury hotel, according to reports - her body was found soon afterwards.

Originally from Chislehurst, south-east London, she was about to start her third year as a teacher at the primary school.

Her mother, Allison, spoke about her daughter after flying out to Qatar after her daughter's body was found.

"Lauren was a wonderful young woman who was having the time of her life in Doha," she said. "She had made so many friends.

"It wasn't until I came out here I realised just how many people loved her. She loved travel and loved teaching, so this was the perfect job for her."

The Qatari interior ministry in October announced that security forces had made arrests over the murder, without giving details on the circumstances surrounding her death.

According to rights group Death Penalty Worldwide, the last judicial killing in Qatar was in 2003 when a murderer was executed by firing squad.
