Qatar court upholds death penalty ruling for Lauren Patterson’s killer

A panel of Qatar appeal judges has endorsed the lower court sentences given to two men convicted in the murder of British teacher Lauren Patterson.

That means the death penalty ruling handed to Badr Hashim Khamis Abdallah Al-Jabar last year continues to stand, although his case will likely see one more appeal, this time in front of Qatar’s highest court.
