He stressed that he would not hesitate to pursue his son’s right to exact revenge on the killer.
He said, “My family and I lived in the southern housing project, before I built my home in the Al-Sanabel neighborhood, and I allocated apartments for my children, including my son Bandar, who works for Saudi Airlines as a co-pilot, and his family circumstances necessitated that he transfer his work to ground services, then he got to know me.” culprit.”
Qarhadi added: “My son Bandar and his companion (the perpetrator) came one day to the house, and Bandar asked his mother to prepare southern food for a guest he had in his apartment, and I came to greet him, and if I saw a suspicious person, his looks were unsteady, and I denounced my son for bringing him home.” His response was humane, and he confirms that he is his friend and a person with circumstances, and he needs a friend to help him in his life, and he sympathizes with him for that, befriending him, and he used to sleep with him in the house as his friend, but I was not comfortable with him.
And he indicates that he saw his son, before the accident, bringing him a dinner consisting of “hamburger” and “shawarma”, but he left it hanging on the door of his house, and he went down from the building, “When I asked him regarding his destination, he mentioned to me that he had received a call from a friend to help him, following he was exposed That friend had a malfunction in his vehicle, and he will charge the battery and return quickly, so I asked him not to be late, and I went to sleep, and I did not know that he had not returned home.

Thank you, Emir of Makkah and Governor of Jeddah
The victim’s father thanked Qarhadi, the governor of Makkah Al-Mukarramah region, and the governor of Jeddah, for their condolences, and confirmed that he would not hesitate to pursue his son’s right to exact revenge on the killer.
And he explained – resisting himself and preventing her from crying – that his son Bandar, who is married and has two sons, was betrayed by those who were kind to him, tried to help him, entrusted him with himself, and brought him into his house in a horrible incident that is alien to our society. And he noted by saying: “I burn the pleasure of my liver while it is alive, and I do not wish anyone to live what my family and I lived through, nor for any father or mother to live the pain that afflicted me. And I ask the Lord Almighty to write Bandar with the martyrs.
Qarhadi was surprised by what was shown in the video clip that showed his son Bandar screaming in pain and walking on his feet, while no one helped him and saved him, as Akl does not believe that his burnt son walked on his feet until he reached the neighborhood health center, which he found closed to return. He is trying to walk to another hospital, so that someone can move him and help him. Is it reasonable for someone to film and the other just to watch, and no one takes the initiative to help him?
