Seeking Closure: UK Woman travels Trinidad to meet mother's killer after 55 years

An 84-year-old woman named Dianne McKay flew 4000 miles from London to Port of Spain, Trinidad, to meet the man who killed her mother Muriel McKay back in 1969.

Muriel McKay was abducted and held for ransom as the kidnappers mistook her for the wife of media mogul Rupert Murdoch. According to the reports, the victim's daughter travelled just to gather more information about her mother and the location where she was buried. Her killer, Nizamodeen Hosein is now back in Trinidad after serving 20 years in a British jail for kidnapping and killing McKay. To everyone's shock, Dianne and Nizamodeen had an emotional meeting as they met, "Hello, It's me, Dianne and I came all this way to see you." Dianne was accompanied by his son Mark Dyer, who shook hands with her grandmother's killer before stating, "I am so happy to meet you."

They both spent quite a time chatting with the killer in a hotel in Port of Spain and asked him about the remains of Muriel McKay. The victim was held hostage at a farm in Hertfordshire, where she is believed to have died.

Notably, Dianne got some pictures of the farm and asked the killer to show exactly the location where he had buried her mother because she wanted to give her the burial she deserved.

Hosein added that at that time, he panicked, following which carried the body outside and turned left behind a barn towards a fence, and two feet from it is where the body was buried.

The killer also said that back in the 90s, he asked the Home Office to let him show where he buried the dead body, but they refused to lift the deportation order he was given in 1990, which is why he had to return to Trinidad at that moment only.

In addition to this, Dianne and Mark stayed for almost two days in Trinidad to question Hosein in the air-conditioned seafront hotel but they left feeling frustrated because they didn't learn enough about Muriel's last days.

The incident took place in December 1969 when Hosein was 22, and he, along with his elder brother Arthur, kidnapped Muriel, who at that time aged 55. They abducted her from her London home and held her hostage at their rundown Hertfordshire farm for a £1m ransom.

Muriel was married to a rich newspaper executive, Alick McKay, who was deputy to newspaper baron Rupert Murdoch. The suspects mistook Muriel for the wife of Murdoch.

The kidnappers soon realized that they had the wrong woman but couldn't send her back as the news of her disappearance had already spread like fire.
