Has anyone heard about a murder at SDT Saudi Development & Training Company (SDT), a BAE SYSTEMS Joint Venture in Riyadh? Rumor has it that an American went ballistic and killed one of his colleagues in a drunken rage. He was then arrested and is now in a Saudi jail. It seems that a teacher did a runner to Bahrain and when they entered his apartment they found the dead body of a colleague there.
The consensus was that he had been killed and that that alcohol was involved. The teacher in question was arrested in Bahrain and brought back to KSA. Both parties were from the US and had been friends

Formal charges could soon be laid against Andrew Cannon, 41, for the death of 57-year-old Robert Colman following a fight during an illegal drinking session.
I've written a follow up to this story, based on all the information I could gather.

The gentleman Andrew Cannon, was, is and always will be a fat aggressive little tosser that deserves to rot in that stink hole he is in now. While a free man he spent most of his time threatening to kill people, being a loud mouthed cretin and getting banned from compounds. At long last he is where he belongs.
