Prince Saud Murder Trial: The William Hague Defence

[Prince Saud] was immediately arrested on suspicion of murder but refused to answer questions, instead giving the police a statement in which he explained why the pair shared a room.
“This way we could talk with each late into the evening, watch films and generally have fun,” said the 34-year-old.
“We preferred to save our money for shopping and evenings out.”
He said when they asked to change to a bigger room, only one with a double bed was available.
“We asked for another bed to be brought in but that couldn’t be made available.
“We did not use the sofa bed as, throughout our entire trip, Bandar and I had travelled as equals and I didn’t want him to feel any different to me for sleeping on a sofa bed.
“We had no issue at with sharing a bed.”

From today's Daily Telegraph, always the go-to newspaper for highly detailed and prurient court reporting.
