When the fifth estate first looked into the tragic story of socialite Fatima Kama in 2003, it seemed like a murder mystery that would soon become a case closed. So much evidence led to her one-time London roommate, Yussef Wahid. But the chief suspect melted away, eluding police forces everywhere. Rumours abounded: he had possibly been spotted in Nigeria, Saudi Arabia, the U.S., Beirut. But this summer, more than a decade after the murder of Fatima, he was found and arrested in Bahrain, and subsequently dispatched to London. The fifth estate went to Bahrain to find out how he managed to evade detection for so long. Is this the last chapter in the case of the Girl in the Suitcase? The family of Fatima prays that it is so. |

Hello, I live in the UK and I really want to see the documentary...could someone tell me how can I do it if I live outside Canada? Thank you!
Finally, after so many years with this slim on the run...he awaits justice. Finally this family, hopfully, will have peace and this murderer will be put behind bars for a long long time.....Better yet, send him back to Lebonon, where the authorities wait for him with a rope....THAT, would be true justice!!!
The Girl in the Suitcase was originally produced and aired in 2003/4. At that time the murderer had not been charged and tried. Surely when the production is re-aired, i.e. today 05/28/11, an update on the status of the criminal investigation and/or trial should be offered to the viewers.
should have a honor killing for your stupid comments. There is no such thing as an honor killing in the real world ya idiot
It's not "A Murder Mystery" when a human being is killed & this is not a fictional story published in a book.These are people like you & me who's lives were taken by an act of violence.This would be "an issue of meaning" if it were a loved one of yours whose life was taken.God forbid that anyone should loose a loved one but the reality is that we live in a less than perfect world where mankind preys on it's own kind.Thus innocent lives are taken.A person can't compare one show with another as each is different unto it's own.We can make a choice to view them or not.If you find Fifth Estate objectionable than why not watch one of the other shows you have compared it with!!As you are entitled to your opinion,therefore so am I.Fifth Estate does an Wonderful job reporting issues and they all possess excellent reporting skills.My hats off to them-I wish them well.I also wish you well but please be reminded that the "it won't happen to me" syndrome isn't a very mature way of dealing with crime that exists within our society.What can be more pressing than this??
Some ppl are capable to looking beyond the obvious. You can clearly see that they are not traditional muslim's who are strict and extremly religious. Her hair is exposed and she talks openly about her family's situations. You need to look beyond the obvious. These man took advantage of a young girl who they knew no one was protecting. I agree with the theory that maybe she upset some clients by returning to Canada. Maybe she did have some intel. Just don't go for the obvious and claims it honor killing.
Fascinating story, thanks Linden. Quite interesting the fact that Lebanon keeps its nationals straight by trying them again on a crime if they decide to return to their homeland. I find it very questionable that Scotland Yard took one year to `gather evidence` and then told Lebanese authorities to let the perp. go. Hmmmm, I would like to know who signed that order! And, no this was not an honour killing; Fatima`s parents encouraged their daughter to experience different cultures and her sister was divorced from her Lebanese husband. Finally, my theory on this lovely girl`s demise. She probably knew too much, or found out about other criminal activity committed by the `rich and powerful` men she dated. She became a liability, especially if she was returning to Canada and out of their clutches. Hence, the reason her killer was let go and had all sorts of money to hide and travel and lavishly entertain `businessmen'.
My sympathies to Fatima`s family.
Shocking story and enlightening about how predators work. More predator enlightenment is necessary to the public. I think fifth estate is doing a necessary topic for public education.
dreadful tale and so shocking for the family.
yes,the fifth estate always covers stories in an excellent manner.
CBC is our national treasure.
Linden MacIntyre deserves an Order of Canada.
I concur. This case seemed very fluffy.
How do you know this was not an honor killing? Did Fatima's mother urged her to come back to Montreal to save her? Fatima's lifestyle would seem to fit an honor killing. As well, did the killer consider her a non-person because of her profession?
Oops, my mistake - one Wahid was her landlord, the other was her roommate.
Correction: Wahid was her landlord, not her roommate.
This so sad,my heart goes out to the family.finally after years this family will get justice
I know murder mysteries garner solid ratings, but aren't there more pressing issues to investigate? When I look at the subject matter of recent episodes of pbs frontline, bbc dispatches etc.. and compare them with this season of the fifth estate, I am left with the feeling that CBC is cashing in on our appetite for violence. Surely Linden MacIntyre's profound investigative skills could be put to better use by examining issues of meaning to Canadians.
what a sad & disturbing story, its so sad how ppl can just discard human life like trash.
The fifth estate did a tasteful job (as usual) covering this story & I hope that the family of Fatima Kama
will have some peace as a result of capture & arrest of her killer.
