In 2008, 23-year-old Norwegian student Martine Vik Magnussen was killed after a night out in Mayfair. In the early morning following her murder, the man responsible, Farouk Abdulhak fled the UK to Yemen.

Farouk Abdulhak is the son of one of Yemen’s richest and most powerful men For nearly 15 years, he hasn't left the country and has lived in luxurious hotels, protected by his father's power.

The British government has tried to extradite him to the UK to face justice, but Yemeni law continues to protect him, as there is no extradition treaty with the UK.

In 2011, BBC reporter Nawal Al-Maghafi tracked Farouk down and befriended him on Snapchat. After gaining his trust, Farouk confessed to killing Martine but claimed it was an accident resulting from rough sex gone wrong.

Today, Farouk remains trapped behind his wall of wealth, privilege, and power, while Martine's family and friends are still waiting for him to be brought to justice.
