LONDON — British police say a Saudi Arabian prince has been charged with the murder of another man in a luxury London hotel.

Police said Thursday the 33-year-old Saud Bin Abdulaziz Bin Nasir Bin Abdulaziz al Saud is charged with the killing at the Landmark Hotel on Monday.

Officers identified the victim as 32-year-old Bandar Abdullah Abdulaziz, also from Saudi Arabia. An autopsy showed he died of “manual compression of the neck” and head injuries.

London police said the prince has also been charged with seriously assaulting the same man on Jan. 22. He will appear at a magistrates’ court on Friday.
