Dianne McKay, the daughter of Muriel McKay, has urged the Metropolitan Police to allow Nizamodeen Hosein, one of her mother’s killers, to return to the UK to reveal her mother’s burial site. McKay is believed to have been killed at a farm in Hertfordshire in 1969, but her body was never found. Brothers, Arthur and Nizamodeen Hosein, were convicted of kidnapping and murdering her. McKay was the wife of Rupert Murdoch’s deputy, Alick McKay, and was mistakenly kidnapped because her captors thought she was Murdoch’s wife. Muriel was later held to ransom for £1m.
Now 75, Hosein has offered to show the exact spot where McKay’s body was hidden, but the McKay family stated that the UK authorities were holding up the process of finding her body. After the family employed a lawyer in Trinidad and offered Hosein £25,000 to help them locate the body, he initially accepted, later refusing the money. Arthur died in prison, and Nizamodeen was deported to Trinidad, where he has remained ever since.
Ms McKay’s daughter, Dianne, who is now 83, said that while it had been cathartic to speak about the case, she was desperate for the closure that finding her mother’s remains would bring. McKay’s family would like to get to the end of their hunt and “complete our project for our mother’s memory.” The family also requested that the authorities get a search warrant for the farm in Hertfordshire and allow Hosein to come for 24 to 36 hours, as they previously tried to pinpoint the location with computer graphics without success.
The Met commented: “An extensive search for Muriel’s remains was conducted in March 2022 at a site in Hertfordshire; unfortunately, it concluded unsuccessfully. We have been engaging with some members of Muriel’s family to keep them updated on an ongoing review. We will consider and assess any new information.” The Home Office declined to comment
