Martine

British police have made a breakthrough in the investigation

into the murder of Norwegian student Martine Vik Magnussen in London '08

A woman in her 60s was arrested today,

suspected of aiding and abetting.

I'm glad there's been some development in the case.

There!

That's why I think it's important to head over there

to take part in these important events.

I'm dreading going back.

I have very bad memories from the previous times I've been there.

It has been confirmed that it was 23-year-old Martine Vik Magnussen

who was found murdered in London yesterday.

She had been raped and strangled.

Her body had been partially covered by rubble.

Inquiries revealed that she was last seen leaving Maddox nightclub.

In the company of a male companion getting into a cab outside.

The police are searching for a 21-year-old man from Yemen.

Farouk is the son of a billionaire businessman.

Abdulhak's family is one of the most secretive

and powerful families in Yemen.

Officers believe he flew to his native Yemen on Saturday.

Is it right that when something like this happens,

that you can jump a border and then not return?

THE SUSPECT IS LIVING IN LUXURY

He's living here as a normal citizen.

Everyone is innocent until proven guilty.

I don't think that I've come across anything so complex

in more than 30 years of crime reporting.

This entire case is a recipe for how to get away with murder.

Norwegian Odd Petter Magnussen

is searching for justice and the truth.

The suspect has to come back to England

and explain what happened to Martine.

Anything else is completely unacceptable!

I won't accept it, nor let it happen.

Becoming a mother is the best that's ever happened to me.

I remember looking at her lying next to me after giving birth.

It was a strange feeling.

It went really quickly, so I wasn't tired. I was wide awake.

It was almost like a euphoric feeling of joy.

I remember it very well.

I already had a son.

I was extremely happy that I got Martine, a daughter.

Later, we got another daughter, Mathilde. My life was complete.

Our fruit plate.

-Ice cream. -Caramel.

Yeah-ahh!

Martine was full of life. She was all over the place.

She was always singing. She was a lively and inquisitive child.

-Daddy, is this done? -Leave it in for a while longer.

She was a happy and funny girl even at a young age.

She grew up at Nesøya,

where you could meet friends and have fun.

I think all of us who were close to her

at some point would have called her our best friend.

She was incredibly charming.

She was enormously popular.

Now I will sing "Tomorrow".

The camera is too unsteady.

Odd Petter and I got divorced in 1999.

We agreed to spend Christmas with the children alternate years.

Santa, I would like to say hello to you too. Yes.

At that time, Odd Petter and I were not on very good terms.

Martine thought it was horrible that I'd sit alone at Christmas,

so she insisted that I had to come over and celebrate with the family.

Martine brought us back together as a family

so we could spend time together without hurting.

Should I dance?

In terms of looks, everyone said she looked like me.

Her father is a bit more adventurous,

so personality-wise, she takes more after her father.

When they were young, I told them what they should consider

in order to have a happy life.

Honesty, politeness and cleverness.

Not cleverness as in being the best at school, but just doing their best.

I'm not sure when her fascination with London started.

She'd been on a few trips there.

And she decided that she wanted to enrol at Regent's Business School.

My name is Geoff Smith, and I've got the privilege

of being the Vice-Chancellor and CEO here at Regent's University, London.

We are a private, small, but ambitious.

We believe we have got an important mission

in developing tomorrow's global leaders.

Martine moved to London in 2007.

It was a school princes and princesses attended.

Martine thought that was cool.

Students from all over the world.

It was a very exciting experience.

You come from different places and get to explore the world.

It's fun to meet new people.

Everything's so much bigger.

I remember asking her:

"Do you want to study in London, the world's biggest amusement park?"

And I couldn't have been more wrong. She was at the top of her class.

She had big dreams about everything. She was always going

like this... Juggling lots of different thing.

I'll show this video when we're 50 and old.

-Are you making a video? -Yes.

Oh my god. And you're still filming?

Say something nice to me.

I love you so much, by dear best friend.

-You're the best. -So are you.

-Come see me in London. -I will.

# Girls

# You do what you wanna do

# Cos your dreams are coming true

# All the hustle's made for you

# For my city girls #

London is and was a great city for Martine in terms of her personality.

There's a lot of life. There's a lot of energy there.

People have money in their pockets and...

if you are young, then London was a pretty good place to be.

And there was a good party atmosphere in the evenings,

young people are out to enjoy themselves.

Um, it was a time of optimism.

Things were good.

There were other girls from Norway too. Martine wasn't alone in London.

Thale was there.

Four girls sharing three bedrooms,

a tiny kitchen and tiny living room.

The flat was full of life all the time.

The flat Martine and the girls lived in was lovely.

It was on the top floor.

It was always nice being at the Norwegian girls' place.

They had a large group of friends.

They had fun. They had little money, but they still had fun.

# ITG STUDIOS: P.O.W.R.

On that Thursday, the 13th of March, I'm at home, very stressed out.

I'm in the middle of writing an essay.

The girls are done with all their exams,

so they're going out to celebrate.

On a perfect night out, we'd have drinks somewhere.

Then we'd have dinner,

and then go out dancing.

The girls are having pre-drinks.

They're running around, having some wine.

Probably some very cheap wine.

Martine has curled her hair.

She's trying on outfits and asking which earrings to wear.

The girls booked a cab,

and they ran out the door at around 10 p.m.

They headed towards Maddox.

In 2008 it was still pretty lively in London.

I know we were sort of coming into sort of recession areas and crashes.

But the clubs were still buzzing.

London was still really busy.

They reached the end of their exams and...

there was obviously a feelgood factor amongst them,

so they went off with a group of friends to the Maddox nightclub,

which was a very popular,

very trendy place

where the beautiful young people, the celebrities go.

A lot of the students from Regent's went there on Thursday nights.

We got the impression that the girls had made some connections

so they would get into exclusive private clubs and so on.

The girls arrive, leave their coats in the cloak room, and enter.

A lot of their friends are already there.

Other Norwegian friends, some Swedes,

and Farouk and his friends.

They studied together. He was Martine's friend initially.

He was in a different seminar group.

Martine introduced Farouk to Nina, who'd never met him before.

Cecilie already knew him.

Martine was having a lot of fun.

She was happy that her friends met Farouk.

I'm frantically writing my coursework.

I'm working on it all night.

I go to bed around 5 a.m. when I'm finally finished.

I get up around 10-11 a.m.

Nina's there, so, I ask her where Martine is.

"She didn't want to go home."

Nina said: "I think she went to Farouk's for an afterparty."

I'm exhausted, so I go back to bed. I get up around 4 p.m.

We still haven't heard anything from Martine.

ARE YOU OKAY?

I can't remember whether it was Thale or Nina that called me,

but one of our mutual friends called

and said that Martine hadn't come home after Maddox.

They asked if I had heard anything. This was what Martine was like.

She might sleep at a friend's house and say that her phone had died.

So this wasn't unusual.

We reached out to Martine's closest friends.

-HEARD ANYTHING FROM MARTINE? -NO.

"Have you heard from her? Has she texted you?"

HAVE YOU HEARD FROM MARTINE?

NO. DID YOU HAND IN YOUR ESSAY?

That's when a group of us started to look for her.

We also looked for Farouk.

Leave me a message and I'll get back to you.

When you've finished recording, please hang up.

WHERE ARE YOU? ARE YOU COMING HOME? HUGS

I just wanted her to reply. We didn't know where she was.

And we didn't get a reply from him either.

I had a bad feeling. I knew that something was wrong.

Leave me a message and I'll get back to you.

When you've finished recording, please hang up.

I'M WORRIED

We're meeting some friends at a bar that night.

We're all on edge as we haven't been in touch with Martine.

We sent her messages on Facebook and to Farouk,
