One worker described it as a "murder and attempted murder".
"A third guy saw him and asked how the now dead man was and said he was going to see him. We heard he followed him back to the room and then hit him over the head and started to strangle him, but he managed to escape and get help." The Times said another worker said: "We were told that a third guy came back and found one man was dead and that his body was wrapped in a bed sheet in the toilet.
One worker added: "It's a situation that I don't think anyone in this industry has experienced. It was a murder and attempted murder on the rig."'Worst conditions in 20 years': Major incident in Shetland as thousands without power - and more snow and ice warnings
