The family of Muriel McKay, who was kidnapped, taken to a farm in Hertfordshire, and murdered mistakenly for Rupert Murdoch’s then-wife in 1969, is currently visiting the farm to discuss next steps with the police. The family would like the police to extend their search area and ensure the killer is on site to identify where Mrs. McKay was buried. Mrs. McKay’s body has not been found to date. The Metropolitan Police have been carrying out a dig since Monday, but nothing of significance has been found so far.
Mark Dyer, Mrs. McKay’s grandson, told BBC Three Counties that it is “pointless” for the police to search without the killer’s assistance, and that extending the search period and area remains an open discussion. Arthur and Nizamodeen Hosein were found guilty of Mrs. McKay’s kidnap and murder, with Arthur dying in prison, and Nizamodeen Hosein being deported to Trinidad afterwards. Earlier this year, the family traveled to Trinidad and had a lengthy conversation with Nizamodeen Hosein, who pointed to where he thought Mrs. McKay was buried on a map.
However, since the layout has changed since 1969, Nizamodeen Hosein needs to guide the police to the exact location. The Met Police told the BBC that it had “carefully considered” bringing Nizamodeen Hosein to the farm, but concluded it would not provide “any further or useful consistent information,” so it had not sought permission from the Home Office to temporarily revoke his deportation order. Nonetheless, Mark Dyer claimed on Sunday that he had heard the Met Police had now spoken to the Home Office, and if they grant permission, the family would allow Nizamodeen Hosein to lead the search.
The Met Police has stated that it would continue the search this week. The farm was searched in 1970 and again in 2022
