The House of BoneSaud. Underneath all that money and the recognition it’s sovereignty by Western states that bunch remains a bunch of violent and short-sighted feudal thugs.

“If you keep repeating these scurrilous accusations of murder, which is nothing but slander spread by our political enemies, we might just have to kill you, too.”
It seems pretty much the opposite of that, in that everyone already knows they did it, and they’re presuming, probably correctly, that death threats will cause people to back off rather than cause consequences for themselves.
