The inside story of the hunt for a fugitive in a high-profile murder case

The inside story of the hunt for a fugitive in a high-profile murder case. The victim - Norwegian Martine Vik Magnussen – had everything going for her: youth, charisma, brains and beauty. She was killed in London after a night out with "billionaire playboy" Farouk Abdulhak: son of one of Yemen’s richest and most powerful men. Police found Martine’s body in the basement of Farouk's building. But Farouk had already fled. Fifteen years later, he’s still on the run. An international campaign to bring him to justice involving diplomats, Nobel laureates and artists has yielded no result. The BBC's Nawal Al-Maghafi was born in Yemen and has been on the case for more than a decade. She meets Martine's family and the officers who led the investigation before travelling to Yemen in search of Farouk. Can she succeed where all others have failed?
