Police Seek Arab "Playboy" Over Martine Vik Magnussen's Murder

Last week, beautiful young Norwegian socialite, Martine Vik Magnussen, was murdered and her body left in the basement of a flat in Great Portland Street. She had been partying at the ultra trendy Mayfair club, Maddox - the subject of a fascinating profile in today's Observer - in the hours before her death with Arab "playboy" Farouk Abdulhak, who it is believed has left the country shortly after on his father's private jet.

Police are wanting to question Abdulhak in connection with the murder, and the Sunday Telegraph is reporting that in the absence of any extradition arrangements between Yemen and the UK, British prosecutors may be invited to try the young man in his home country, where a death penalty exists.
