Billionaire's son accused of raping and murdering woman confesses involvement for first time

A billionaire's son who is accused of raping and murdering a 23-year-old student has confessed his involvement in the incident for the first time. Martine Magnussen was found dead under rubble in a basement 14 years ago in London after she and Farouk Abdulhak were recorded on CCTV leaving Maddox nightclub together on March 14, 2008.

Abdulhak, who is on the Met Police's most wanted list, fled the UK and has remained in his home country of Yemen ever since. But he has now finally admitted playing a role in Martine's death in what he claims was a 'sex accident gone wrong'.

He is the son of Shaher Abdulhak, who was one of the richest and most powerful men in Yemen before his death in 2020, the Mirror reports.
