“The most dangerous place on earth”

Muriel McKay (55 years old) was murdered in 1969 on a farm in Hertfordshire, England. Her remains were never found, but two brothers were sentenced to life in prison for the murder.

In July this year, the Metropolitan Police spent £160,000 on an eight-day search of the farm, but to no avail.

Now, the victim's grandson, Mark Dyer, says he is willing to pay more than £1 million, roughly 14 million Norwegian kroner, to buy the property where the 55-year-old was killed, he wrote. BBC.

He describes the place as “the worst place on earth.”

You want an end

– It all depends on whether the property owner wants to sell, says son, Ian McKay, to British Radio.

He adds that purchasing the property will enable the family to conduct a comprehensive search for the mother's remains, and hopefully they will be able to bring closure.

The BBC contacted the farm owner, and at the time of writing this report had not received any comment.

Thanks no

The police search was carried out from July after killer Nizamuddin Hussain provided information about where Muriel McKay's remains were buried on the farm.

In November 2023, it became known that Hussein signed an extraordinary contract worth more than half a million kroner to tell what happened.

The murder victim was identified 40 years later

He later refused the money.

Hussein was expelled from the UK in the 1990s and now lives in Trinidad. He was not allowed to return to assist in the search.

So two members of the murder victim's family traveled to Trinidad and Hussein showed them where he believed the remains were buried.

Matthew Gayle, the killer's lawyer, told the BBC that his client still wanted to come to England to help in the search.

Brothers Nizamuddin Hussain and Arthur Hussain were convicted of Mackay's murder. They kidnapped the victim from a farm in Hertfordshire, eastern England, in 1969, and were arrested by police a few days later.

The men say they mistook MacKay for media mogul Rupert Murdoch's first wife, Anna Murdoch.
