Arabian Nightmare by Richard Arnot
On 19 May 1979, a British nurse, Helen Smith, and a Dutch tugboat captain, Johannes Otten, fell to their deaths from a balcony at a party given in Jeddah by British surgeon Richard Arnot and his wife Penny. When Helen Smith's father started to investigate what was initially seen as a tragic accident, rumours of sex orgies, conspiracy and murder began to circulate. Taken into custody and eventually sentenced to imprisonment and a public flogging for the local crime of serving alcohol, Richard Arnot was released as the result of intervention by the British government and was deported back to the UK. In the wake of Ron Smith's determined campaign to prove that foul play as associated in his daughter's death, Arnot was hounded by the press and shunned by the medical profession. The 1982 inquest into the death resulted in an open verdict which fostered continuing doubt and speculation about the real story behind the events of the fateful evening. Arnot, who moved to Australia to begin a new life, now tells his own story.
Richard Arnot was born in England in 1941. He is a Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh and a Fellow of the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons. He practises in rural New South Wales and represents rural surgeons on the Australian Association of Surgeons Board. Helen Chryssides is a freelance journalist and writer for Readers Digest, the Bulletin and the Canberra Times. Her other publications include include Local Heroes and A Different Light
