A convicted murderer has offered to return to the UK from Trinidad to show his victim’s daughter where he put her mother’s body 54 years ago.

Muriel McKay, the wife of a newspaper executive, was kidnapped and held ransom for £1 million by a pair who had mistaken her for Anna Murdoch, the then-wife of media mogul Rupert Murdoch.

Nizamodeen Hosein, then aged 22, and his older brother Arthur were convicted of her murder and handed life prison sentences.

Now living in his native Trinidad, where he was deported after serving his jail sentence, 75-year-old Nizamodeen Hosein has been in touch with Ms McKay’s daughter Dianne, 82.

He has offered to return to the UK to show her where he buried her mother’s body.

In a letter seen by Sky News, Hosein asked the Home Office to lift a deportation order which still bars him from the UK.

    Why does he need to come here? Surely he can google maps it? Skype in?

      He’s 75 and this was 53 years ago. Gonna go ahead and say the answer is no to the last two questions.

        75 year olds can use technology. There’s no reason he needs to be here.
