The family of a British teacher murdered in Qatar have vowed to “fight for justice”.
Alison Patterson said her 24-year-old daughter 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.
Two local men have been arrested and police say they have confessed to the murder.
Mrs Patterson, 48, said: “Lauren was a wonderful young woman who was having the time of her life in Doha… It wasn’t until I came out here I realised how many people loved her.”
She added: “I will be staying in Doha for as long as it takes to see that justice is done for my daughter.”
