Widow of Briton slain by terrorists lauds judiciary – Arab News

Editor December 3, 2015

Nearly one year after the sentencing to death of terrorists who killed British national Michael Hamilton in Alkhobar and dragged his body through the city’s streets tied to a vehicle, his widow, Penelope, has said she is satisfied with the “just and fair” penalty.
Hamilton, whose late husband was an employee of Arab Petroleum Investments Corporation, said she attended the sentencing hearing at the Specialized Criminal Court in Riyadh, accompanied by her son, according to a report in Asharq Al-Awsat.
“These criminals were well aware of the type of punishment they would receive for their crimes,” said Hamilton. The criminals expressed no signs of remorse for their crimes, she said.
She said human rights organizations seemed more concerned about the rights of criminals, than those of the victims’ family members.
Hamilton, now a grandmother of two, said she had met many Saudi officials while waiting for the sentencing, and that she and her son had received extensive support from the Saudi government following the incident.
She and her son had met with the Saudi Minister of Justice Mohammed Al-Eissa in London about 18 months ago, when they were still waiting for the sentences to be handed down. “The minister assured us that I would be able to attend the sentencing hearing.”
Hamilton said she also met with Prince Mohammed bin Nawaf, the Saudi ambassador, on numerous occasions, who “offered the support needed at the time.”(Arab News)
