A TEACHER from Basingstoke faces execution in Saudi Arabia if he is found guilty of murdering a friend.
Andrew Cannon is reported to have fallen out with Robert Coleman during a heavy drinking session.
The 41-year-old was working as an English teacher in the Saudi capital, Riyadh.
He was arrested on March 3, but insists he did not cause the death of his 57-year-old friend, from Newcastle.
It has been reported that the pair got into a fight, but the following morning Cannon was unable to wake Coleman.
Cannon is also alleged to have fled to Bahrain where he was arrested attempting to board a flight back to Britain.
Do you know Andrew Cannon or were you taught by him?
