The violent death of Kuwaiti millionaire Adnan Abdul Hameed Al-Sane – beaten so badly he swallowed a tooth – continues to baffle detectives nearly 29 years on
Forensic facial reconstruction of 1993 murder victim Adnan Abdul Hameed Al Sane
They still do not know why the former banker was killed in what appeared a blood-splattered ritual. Al-Sane’s head was severed with an Arabic sword.They believe they know how the head, repeatedly hacked to conceal facial recognition, came to rest in the unlikely setting of Cheslyn Hay High School. It was tossed, like unwanted fast-food litter, from a car travelling along the M6 that shouldered the grounds.
Their work began on December 17, 1993, when officers, marshalling the Christmas shopping bustle, discovered a charred, headless body at Manchester station. The victim, stripped to his underpants remained a “John Doe” for months. Their one lead, an eye-witness account of a man, darked haired and anywhere between 20 and 40 seen lurking at the murder scene, came, not surprisingly, to nothing.
Al-Sane, it appeared, lived in the shadows and it became near impossible to shine a light into the fog of his existence. One friend described his lifestyle as “discreet but affluent”. And each fresh twist cemented detectives’ beliefs that they were dealing with something much deeper than a mere revenge killing.
This led police to believe money was the catalyst for brutal murder. Det Supt Bernard Rees, of Greater Manchester Police, said at the time: “Financial motive is the only one I can think of, unless someone tells us something to the contrary.” Al-Sane was embroiled, it was whispered, in a bitter cash feud in his home country where a contract had been signed and sealed on his life.
