LONDON — The Metropolitan Police say they have charged a Lebanese man with murder in the case of a Canadian singer whose body was found stuffed in a suitcase at London's Heathrow Airport in 1999.
The force said Wednesday that 41-year-old Youssef Ahmed Wahid had been charged with the murder of 28-year-old Fatima Kama, whose body was found in a suitcase abandoned on the third floor of an airport parking lot.
Wahid, a former Kuwait Airways flight attendant, was arrested within days of the discovery at his hometown of Ramadiyeh in southern Lebanon, where he denied having anything to do with the killing.
He was eventually released and then went on the run. Police tracked him to the Gulf state of Bahrain, where he was arrested last month.

I think he was pushed to take matters into his own hands. I have a teenage son and if he was involved with a drug dealer I would be furious and try anything to save him like this father did for his daughter. Why do police often say they can't do anything until it's too late? Whether it be a drug dealer or an abusive spouse, the police can't seem to do anything until something really bad happens. In this case they could have raided the drug dealers home and arrested him. The whole town knew what was going on in that house but yet the police chose to do nothing. Release this man and give him a medal for doing the right thing by his daughter. I can't wait to see the episode on W5, I will certainly be watching this one.
