{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}LONDON (AP) — The Metropolitan Police say they have charged a Lebanese man with murder in the case of a Canadian singer whose body was found stuffed in a suitcase at London's Heathrow Airport in 1999.
The force said Wednesday that 41-year-old Youssef Ahmed Wahid had been charged with the murder of 28-year-old Fatima Kama, whose body was found in a suitcase abandoned on the third floor of an airport parking lot.
Wahid, a former Kuwait Airways flight attendant, was arrested within days of the discovery at his hometown of Ramadiyeh in southern Lebanon, where he denied having anything to do with the killing.
