A man who was allegedly bludgeoned to death on an oil rig off the coast of Qatar has been named. Robert Robson, of Tyne and Wear, has been described as "one of a kind" by his heartbroken family.
The Brit worker, 38, died on Monday after an alleged attack onboard the Seafox Burj rig. His colleague, Scott Forrest, 43, is accused of attacking him with a breathing apparatus tank before assaulting a second co-worker, Christopher Begley, 38.
Paying tribute to Robert, his family said: “Robbie was an amazing, one-of-a-kind, beautiful soul. He was a loving partner, dad, son, brother and uncle who was tragically taken too soon.
