A Saudi prince has denied kidnapping and killing a young

woman in Jeddah.

The body of the 25-year old woman was found naked in a

street on Saturday morning after she had been allegedly forced into a car near

a Jeddah mall about midnight on Friday, according to local Arabic newspaper

Sabq.

Prince Khaled bin Saad denied claims on social media

networks that he had attempted to talk to the woman inside the mall. He gave

her his phone number on a piece of paper, which she screwed up and threw away,

they said.

Witnesses claim they saw security guards belonging to the

prince later grab the woman outside and force her into a car.

Prince Khaled has denied any involvement in the crime.
