Mishari bin Abdulaziz Al Saud (1932 – 23 May 2000) was a Saudi Arabian businessman and convicted murderer. He was a member of the House of Saud .
Early life and activities
Prince Mishari was born in 1932. [1] He was a son of King Abdulaziz and Bushra [2] [3] who was one of the concubines of King Abdulaziz. [4]
Prince Mishari was a businessman and a poet. [5] [6] He owned a company, Al Saada Trading and Contracting, in Jeddah. [7]
Personal life
One of his spouses was a Syrian-origin woman from Aleppo who was the mother of Princess Maha . [8]
His son, Prince Mohammed bin Mishari, is a member of the Allegiance Council . [9] His daughter, Maha bint Mishari, is an academic at Alfaisal University ’s College of Medicine and a physician at King Faisal Specialist Hospital and Research Centre. [10]
Prince Mishari died in the United States at age 68 on 23 May 2000. [5] [6] He was buried at Al Adl cemetery in Mecca . [11]
The murder of British diplomat
Cyril Ousman was a British citizen who had been in Arabia since 1929 and worked as an engineer. [5] Later he became the British vice-consul in Jeddah. [5] He held a party on 16 November 1951 [12] where Prince Mishari, aged nineteen, was among the guests. [5] Ousman refused to pour Mishari another drink, since he had already reached his maximum limit. Mishari left, and came back shortly carrying a gun and fired into the Ousman's home. His wife, Dorothy Ousman, was shielded by her husband, and Ousman was shot dead by Prince Mishari. [13]
Ousman was buried next day in Jeddah's non-Muslim cemetery . [13] In 1952, King Abdulaziz imposed a total ban on alcohol in his kingdom. [13] Ousman's wife left Jeddah quietly, accepting King Abdulaziz's compensation. [5] [13] Mishari was sentenced to life imprisonment. He was spared the death penalty due to his royal status. [13] Mishari was released during the reign of King Saud . [13]
Raymond A. Hare , then US Ambassador to Saudi Arabia , argued in a letter to US Foreign Service dated 25 November 1951 that the murder was very similar to a scene in an American movie that Prince Mishari, Cyril Ousman and his wife had watched together only a few days before the incident. [14]
