““Why would he do such a dreadful thing?”: Widow of slain oil rig worker says questions still remain about Qatar killing”

The wife of an offshore oil rig worker killed by a colleague in Qatar says questions still remain about the case.

Kirstie Graham said she has still has no answers as to why her partner, Robbie Robson, was killed on the Seafox Burj rig in December 2022.

Robson, 38, was attacked with a 10kg iron weight by colleague and room-mate, Scott Forrest, 43, of Maud, Aberdeenshire.

Forrest has been in custody in Doha ever since and was sentenced to 10 years in prison for manslaughter earlier this year, but the Qatar’s court process has been shrouded in secrecy.

Since the verdict, Ms Graham claims she has been left unable to establish why her partner was killed…

The three men were employed by subsea contracting firm Film-Ocean Ltd, based in Ellon, Aberdeenshire…

Ms Graham also said Robson had complained to his employer about the sleeping arrangements on the Qatari oil rig, asking to be moved cabins.

She has now launched legal action against Film-Ocean over Robson’s death.
