Murder of Martine Vik Magnussen

[1] Her body was found hidden under rubble in the basement of a block of flats in Great Portland Street, Marylebone, London, on 16 March 2008.

[4] Magnussen was last seen alive sometime between 02:00 and 03:00 GMT on 14 March 2008 at the Maddox nightclub in London's wealthy Mayfair district, more than a mile from the basement where her body was found.

[3] Police appealed for a man of Arab appearance, with whom Magnussen is believed to have left the club, to come forward.

As of March 2016, Detective Chief Inspector Andy Partridge of the Metropolitan Police Service's Homicide & Major Crime Command has said:This case is still very much a live investigation.

[12] The missing items are: Christian Dior earrings, snakeskin shoes, a Marc Jacobs handbag, a Guess watch, a silver costume diamond ring, and her jeans (described as blue and of a "skinny" fit).

[2] Police have flight records showing that Abdulhak left London for Cairo on 14 March 2008, and believe he then fled to Yemen.

[3][24] Other reactions to the murder include: a march was held in Oslo on 1 December 2009 calling for further action from Norwegian authorities.

[25] On 10 June 2010, her father paid tribute to the Metropolitan Police and the British authorities at a remembrance event hosted by her family at Regent's College and unveiled a tree planted in her memory.
