On Monday 24 February, officers from Greater Manchester Police began ?carrying out a detailed search in relation to recovering the body of Rania Alayed?.
Police have found human remains during a fresh search for Rania Alayed, who was murdered by her husband 12 years ago.
Following the discovery, Detective Chief Inspector Neil Higginson said: ‘More than a decade after her murder, we now strongly believe we have located Rania’s body and are finally able to provide closure to her family, who we know have endured so much pain and grief over the years.
Al-Khatib was found guilty of her murder and was jailed for life in 2014, but despite several searches by police Ms Alayed’s body never found.
