The son of a Yemeni billionaire who fled the United Kingdom 15 years ago reportedly admitted to his involvement in the 2008 murder and rape of a Norwegian fellow student in London.
The BBC reported that Farouk Abdulhak recently admitted to his involvement in the March 14, 2008, death of 23-year-old Martine Vik Magnussen.
The two were students at Regent’s Business School in London at the time. During thousands of texts and hundreds of voice notes to BBC News Arabic special correspondent Nawal Al-Maghafi, Abdulhak allegedly claimed Magnussen, without mentioning her by name, died as a result of a “sex accident gone wrong.”
“I did something when I was younger, it was a mistake,” he reportedly wrote.

Magnussen’s father, Odd Petter Magnussen, reacted to MailOnline about Abdulhak’s admission.

The United Kingdom holds no extradition treaty with Yemen.
“I’ve been talking to both the legally elected government and the Houthi movement, who control the area where he is residing,” the father said. “We’ve had a dialogue with them for the last one and a half years, and they’ve managed to pinpoint a possible solution within a year.”

“Absolutely, this is a burden for Yemen. The fact that he’s admitting his involvement means he is, by definition, a murderer,” he added. “It takes a lot…
