British woman murdered in Doha Qatar

'Lauren was a wonderful young woman having the time of her life': Mother's tributes to daughter murdered in Qatar as she vows to 'fight for justice'

​

The mother of a British teacher murdered in Qatar yesterday vowed to ‘fight for justice’.
Alison Patterson said 24-year-old Lauren was having the ‘time of her life’ working in Doha before she disappeared on a night out.
Her body was found dumped in the desert, it emerged yesterday.
Speaking publicly for the first time since the murder, Mrs Patterson, 48, she said it had been ‘extremely stressful’ waiting for forensic results to confirm the body was her daughter’s.
But she praised authorities in the Gulf state for their thorough investigation – which saw police arrest two local men who have now made confessions.
Miss Patterson was about to start her third year as a primary school teacher at Newton British School in Doha.
She was last seen leaving a club in the five-star hotel La Cigale with a female friend at 1.20am on Saturday.
Her family and her boyfriend James Grima – an IT consultant and DJ living in Malta – launched a frantic campaign on Facebook to find her.
But later that weekend Mr Grima posted a message explaining that the search had been called off, as the case was now being treated as a murder investigation.
Fighting back tears, Mrs Patterson’s mother said: ‘Lauren was a wonderful young woman who was having the time of her life in Doha.
