Dubai: Authorities in Dubai will not seek the extradition of the suspect for the Dubai murder of Lebanese singer Suzan Tamim because the UAE and Egypt do not have an extradition agreement, said Dubai Police chief Lieutenant General Dahi Khalfan Tamim.
Tamim, 30, was found murdered in her Jumeirah Beach Residence apartment on July 28.
Egypt's Prosecutor-General Abdul Meguid Mahmoud ordered that Hesham Tala'at Mustafa, the chairman of one of the country's biggest construction companies, face trial after a suspected killer had claimed in investigations that Mustafa was involved in the murder of the singer.
Lt Gen Dahi said Egyptian authorities had cooperated with the investigation and that he had complete trust in the Egyptian judicial system, praising its “credibility, transparency and integrity''.
