International Manhunt Launched Following Cardiff Murder
Police have launched an international manhunt for a man believed to have murdered a woman from Cardiff.
The body of Nadine Aburas, 28, was discovered in a guest room at a Cardiff hotel on Wednesday 31 December.
A post-mortem examination has been completed, however South Wales Police are waiting for further pathology results before confirming how the woman died.
Officers investigating the incident are appealing for anyone with information to come forward. In particular, they would like to speak with anybody who may have seen Ms Aburas accompanied by a Sammy Almahri, 44, who possibly had distinctive injuries to his face, which were unrelated to this incident.
Almahri is a US National, who resides in New York City and had an existing friendship with Nadine.
Almahri checked into the Future Inn hotel in Cardiff Bay at 8.25pm on 30 December 2014. Nadine arrived at the hotel at approximately 9pm that evening. Almahri left the premises at 03:00am on 31 December. He subsequently took a flight from Heathrow to Bahrain at 10:30am on New Year's Eve – and may now be in Tanzania.
Hotel guests or visitors to the hotel may have seen them together, as may those who were out in the Cardiff Bay area that evening, between 10pm and 11pm.
As part of this international murder investigation, South Wales Police is liaising with Law Enforcement agencies in New York City and Tanzania.
Anyone with information is urged to contact South Wales Police via 101 or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
