Sense of perspective

It is a tragedy a young British girl lost her life in Qatar, it seems that she was murdered but we do not know all the facts yet. We need a sense of perspective, this was not an example of Qataris murdering expats, it's was just some bad people doing bad things. We can only hope they are caught and punish appropriately. Remember only a few years ago a young Qatari was killed in the UK, this does not mean all British people are murdering bastards who hate foreigners. It just means some idiots got in a fight and the consequences are tragic. The two cases are slightly different in what happen, but all we should look for now is justice for Lauren Patterson not unwarranted attacks against Qatari people

Police have made a number of arrests over the suspected murder of a British primary school teacher last seen outside a five-star hotel in Qatar.

Lauren Patterson, 24, vanished in the early hours on Saturday in the Gulf state's capital Doha. Her body was found in the desert, according to The Times newspaper.

The cause of her death and the location where the body was found have not been confirmed by authorities.

The Qatar Interior Ministry said in a statement: "The police have arrested the suspects. The case has been referred to public prosecution."

Her mother Allison Patterson has flown to Doha and vowed to "fight for justice".

The 48-year-old told the Daily Mail it had been "extremely stressful" waiting for forensic results to confirm the body was her daughter's.

She said: "Lauren was a wonderful young woman who was having the time of her life in Doha. She had made so many friends.
