Episode 7

In the last days of 2014, a young woman was found dead in a hotel in Cardiff. Nadine Aburas had been in a stormy, long-distance relationship with New Yorker Sammy Almahri for almost two years, after meeting through an online dating site. In late December, Almahri flew to the UK to visit Nadine. After an argument over dinner, the pair went back to Almahri’s hotel room. It was the last time Nadine was seen alive, and hours later, Almahri was driving to Heathrow Airport. The murderer was now a fugitive, but where was he heading?

In London, detectives from the extradition unit are searching for a criminal who went on the run after being convicted in Belgium for human trafficking offences. They are also keen to find a man who has a four-year sentence waiting for him in Romania for burglaries committed over a decade ago.
