The murder of British diplomat, Cyril Ousman 1951
Cyril Ousman, a British Vice-consul more than twenty years in Jeddah, had many local Saudi friends, serving them alcohol in his home. He held a party which Prince Mishari bin Abdul Aziz, aged nineteen was among the guests. Cyril Ousman refused to pour Mishari another drink, which he already reached maximum dose. Mishari left, and came back shortly carrying a gun spraying bullets into the Ousman’s home. His wife Dorothy Ousman was shielded by her husband, Cyril Ousman was shot dead.
Cyril Ousman was buried next day in Jeddah’s non-Muslim cemetery, where his simple marble gravestone can still be seen. In 1952, Abdul Aziz ibn Suad banned alcohol totally from his kingdom.
Mrs Dorothy Ousman left Jeddah quietly, accepting Ibn Saud compensation, on which she lives, in retirement in South Africa. Mishari was sentenced to life imprisonment and put in prison, saved from the death penalty by his royal status. Mishari was released afterwards during the reign of late King Saud bin Abdul Aziz.
