Now officers from Greater Manchester Police say that after receiving new information, they have discovered human remains buried beside the A19 in Thirsk, North Yorkshire.
Detectives searching for the body of a woman who was murdered 12 years ago have discovered human remains.
Ahmed Al-Khatib, from Gorton, Greater Manchester, was convicted in 2014 of murdering his wife, Rania Alayed, who had gone missing the year before.
The force said: “While no official identification has taken place, we strongly suspect the remains are that of Rania.”.
They said her family had been informed of the finding of remains and were being supported by specially trained officers.
