A sex killer who stabbed his temporary flatmate to death and dumped her body in a suitcase before fleeing to the Middle East has been jailed for life – twelve years after the horrific murder.
Moroccan-born Fatima Kama, 28, (pic.top) was discovered in a car park at Heathrow Airport on July 17, 1999 curled inside the suitcase.
Yousseff Ahmed Mosalam, 42, (pic.middle) was also staying at a mutual friend’s flat at 9 Portsea Hall, Portsea Place, Bayswater and following the murder, fled abroad eventually being captured in Bahrain.
He was convicted at the Old Bailey and sentenced to a minimum of twenty-four years before he can be considered for parole.
Detective Chief Inspector John McFarlane of the Homicide and Serious Crime Command said: “This was a callous and shocking murder which left a family grieving the loss of a beloved daughter.
“Wahid spent twelve years evading police and refused to face up to what he had done, I am pleased that Fatima's family have finally got justice and that Wahid is behind bars, where he belongs.”
Fatima’s body was found abandoned in the suitcase (pic.bottom) - left on an airport luggage trolley on the third level of Terminal Three’s car park.
It was forced open by a security guard after being pointed out by a concerned member of the public.
Fatima had arrived in London on July 10 from her adopted Canada and had stayed at the flat during previous visits
A post mortem at Ealing Hospital mortuary revealed Fatima had been subjected to multiple stab wounds and was sexually assaulted.
In 2010 Wahid was traced to Bahrain and became the first fugitive to be extradited from the country to the UK.
