Victim: Martine Vik Magnussen |
Oslo’s justice for Martine march
HUNDREDS of Norwegians have marched through Oslo to urge politicians to help break a deadlock in the investigation of the murder of a student in Marylebone.
Martine Vik Magnussen, 23, a Norwegian national, was found dead in the basement of a Great Portland Street flat in March last year.
Her billionaire friend Farouk Abdulhak, 22 – a fellow student at Regent’s Business School in Regent’s Park – is the prime suspect but he has fled to his native Yemen, which does not have an extradition agreement with Britain.
The crowd gathered outside the Norwegian parliamentary building on Tuesday evening before marching to the Norwegian ministry of foreign affairs.
Protesters are urging politicians to apply diplomatic pressure to bring him back to Britain and potentially face charges.
Organiser Sophie Terkelsen, 24, is a close friend of the family. She said: “We think it is about time that the Norwegian authorities raise their voice internationally. Norway is often known for being a front-runner when it comes to ethics, when it comes to human rights and also fighting for justice. We think it is important that the Norwegian authorities show the world that they have to show concrete justice and put pressure on the Yemeni authorities.” |
