The mother of a Kent teacher killed in Qatar says she's angry and frustrated about delays in putting the man accused of her murder on trial for a second time.

Alison Patterson from West Malling has just returned from the Arab kingdom in Middle East after the latest adjournment in the case. Her daughter Lauren was found dead in the desert two years ago.

A man was convicted of murder and sentenced to death - but later acquitted. An appeal is now under way and the next court date has been fixed for next month.
