Martine – The Hunt for Justice

On Friday the 14. of March it becomes clear that something is wrong in a students’ collective in London. No one has heard word from 23 year old Martine Vik, and her increasingly desperate friends keep sending her messages on the Facebook: Where are you? Are you coming home? The messages are never read, because Martine has already been raped and strangled in a downtown basement. Her corpse is wrapped in Farouk Abdulhak’s bedsheet. In Martine – The Hunt for Justice journalist Marianne Vikås sheds new light upon the case. She follows vivacious young Martine through her final, dramatic hours, tells us about her childhood and adolescence at Nesøya in Asker and about the family’s grief over losing a daughter and a sister in the worst conceivable manner.
Vikås also relays Odd Petter Magnussen’s incessant efforts to achieve justice for his daughter and persuade the Yemenite authorities to extradite the millionaire son Farouk Abdulhak, who so far remains protected by his influential father and the fact that Yemen has no extradition treaty with the UK.
