The mother of a woman who was murdered in Qatar still has no idea whether her killer has been released more than a decade on from the tragedy.

Lauren Patterson was teaching at a primary school in the Qatari capital Doha when she went missing after going to a party in October 2013.

Her body was found in the desert after she was raped and murdered by Badr Hashim Khamis Abdallah al-Jabr in a brutal attack.

Lauren's family were told he would face a death sentence after being jailed for the 'heinous and shocking' attack in 2014.

But in May 2018, the decision was overturned and he was instead given only ten-and-a-half years in jail, while Lauren's family were offered just £200,000 compensation.
