Adnan Abdul Hameed Al-Sane was a Banker from Kuwait who retired to London in 1986 at the age of 38. He traded in stocks and shares as an interest. He also frequented casinos. He lived in Maida Vale area.
On the night of December 14 1993, he dined with a business acquaintance at the Brittania Hotel in Grosvenor Square. At midnight he took a taxi home and that was the last time anyone saw him alive. It is believed that he went home and was later snatched from there.
On the 16th of December his headless and partially burned naked body apart from underpants was found beneath a railway arch in Piccadilly in Manchester.
His badly burned head was found a few weeks later on 27th January by a dog walker 70 miles away, in Staffordshire. It is thought that the head was tossed from a passing car from the nearby motorway. The killer had gone in great length to try and hide the identity of the victim, by hacking away his face with a machete. Officers described the killing as ‘non-professional but methodical’. The head was reconstructed using clay by a Manchester University professor and this became a milestone in identifying Adnan. He was finally identified from a rare metal alloy used in dental work. It is thought that he swallowed a tooth during the attack.
Six box files relating to Adnan’s stocks and shares were missing from his apartment after his death.
In October 2011 the ‘Independent’ reported that a business associate of his was seriously wounded in a gun attack in Paddington, London.
Police were baffled by the vicious attack on him in spite of wide speculation about illicit arms deals back in his country and money feuds.
DISCUSSION
-Why was the body found in Manchester?
-Why did the killer go into such great lengths to hide his identity?
-Why was he murdered?
