| Mishari bin Abdulaziz Al Saud |
Mishari bin Abdulaziz (1932 – 23 May 2000) was a senior member of the House of Saud.
Prince Mishari was a son of King Ibn Saud of Saudi Arabia and his wife Bushra. He died on 23 May 2000.
His son, Prince Muhammad bin Mishari, is a member of the Allegiance Council.
Cyril Ousman, a British Vice-consul more than twenty years in Jeddah, had many local Saudi friends, serving them alcohol in his home. He held a party which Prince Mishari bin Abdul Aziz, aged nineteen was among the guests. Cyril Ousman refused to pour Mishari another drink, which he already reached maximum dose. Mishari left, and came back shortly carrying a gun spraying bullets into the Ousman’s home. His wife Dorothy Ousman was shielded by her husband, Cyril Ousman was shot dead.
Cyril Ousman was buried next day in Jeddah’s non-Muslim cemetery, where his simple marble gravestone can still be seen. In 1952, Abdul Aziz ibn Suad banned alcohol totally from his kingdom.
Mrs Dorothy Ousman left Jeddah quietly, accepting Ibn Saud compensation, on which she lives, in retirement in South Africa. Mishari was sentenced to life imprisonment and put in prison, saved from the death penalty by his royal status. Mishari was released afterwards during the reign of late King Suad bin Abdull Aziz.
