(BBC) Police searching for the body of Rania Alayed, who was murdered by her abusive husband 12 years ago, have found human remains.
Ahmed Al-Khatib is serving a life sentence for killing the mother-of-three in a planned “honour killing” in Salford, but her body was never found.
New information led officers to return to search for the 25-year-old near the A19 in Thirsk, North Yorkshire, on Monday, Greater Manchester Police (GMP) said.
Remains have been discovered buried there, which police “strongly suspect” is Ms Alayed, the force added.
In June 2014, Al-Khatib, from Gorton, was found guilty of her murder and sentenced to life in prison with a minimum term of 20 years.
