The father of a Norwegian student murdered in the UK sent out a warning to her suspected killer about his capture. He said the case “will never go away” while he remains a fugitive.
23 year old Martine Vik Magnussen was strangled after she went out to celebrate her end-of-term exams at a Mayfair nightclub in 2008.
Billionaire playboy Farouk Abdulhak was caught on CCTV leaving the nightclub with late Magnussen. Abdulhak absconded to Yemen in the hours after she disappeared and has since refused to return to the UK.
In a visit to London marking 10 years since her death, her father Petter warned Abdulhak: “I would like to address this individual, who has continued his sheltered life without any consequences, while my family has continued to suffer the greatest loss a family can suffer.
“I want him to know that 10 years on we continue to pursue justice for Martine. The police continue to investigate, we want you to know that this case will never go away until justice has prevailed.”
Detectives investigating the murder of the Norwegian student 10 years ago have vowed to keep the spotlight “firmly focused” on the prime suspect billionaire playboy who remains in Yemen and has refused to return to the Uk where he is wanted in connection with her death in 2008.
The 23-year-old was celebrating her end-of-term exams with other students from the Regent’s Business School at the Maddox nightclub in Mayfair when she went missing in the early hours of March 14 2008.

British police have continued to appeal for him to hand himself a decade after her death, as they released a CCTV clip of the pair leaving the nightclub.
