Khalid Souleyman

Crown King Khalid Ben Omar Souleyman of Sultanistan was from the Souleyman Royal Family of Sultanistan and was the victim of All the King's Horses (Case #49).

Murder Details
King Souleyman was found in the horse stables by the team with his skull smashed to pieces by a horse. When the body was found, the team didn't hesitate to send the king's dead body to Nathan Pandit, who says that the horse's horseshoe stepped on the king's skull and due to the impact of the horse, the victim died.

Killer and Motives
The killer was Crown Prince Mohammad Souleyman's personal nanny Hilda Tipton.

Hilda didn't like that the King didn't trust her with his son apart from picking his toys. She wanted to do more for him, like being the King's personal consultant. So, she killed him so she could be more to the son. Hilda killed the King by the help of a horse which was taken as a gift from the King to the Mayor. Hilda went to the stables when the King was there to kill him. Hilda threw an explosive with a beehive to the stables. Because of that, the horse got mad and smashed the King's skull.

During the hearing at Grimsborough, it was found that Hilda wanted to seize more power and she lied to Mohammad Souleyman all along. Due to the severity of the crimes committed, Hilda was tried as an international criminal, and she was to be detained by international authorities where she will face a hearing at the International Judicial level, as the Judge opted to submit a report of Hilda's involvement of the political murder.

After the hearing, Mohammad knew that he would have to bear the burden of his father's duties too soon, but promises the team that he would come through as a responsible head of state as he grows up.
