The lawyer for a Saudi prince accused of murder has denied that his client and the alleged victim were in a gay relationship. Jurors heard that Saud Abdulaziz bin Nasser al Saud killed Bandar Abdulaziz, 32, in a London hotel room they shared in February this year. Prosecutors allege it was a ferocious attack which had a "sexual element". Dobomir Dimitrov, a porter from the Landmark Hotel in Marylebone, central London, who went to the men's room during their stay, said: "I would describe them as a gay couple." But the prince's barrister, John Kelsey-Fry QC, said in cross-examination: "It is not accepted that this was in fact a gay couple - but I readily accept that you had the impression they were a gay couple."
