Grandson of murdered Muriel McKay urges police to fly one of her killers over from Trinidad to Britain to show them where her body is buried

The grandson of murdered Muriel McKay has today urged police to fly one of her killers to Britain to show them where her body is buried. 

Officers began a five-day dig at Stocking Farm in Hertfordshire this week to search for the mother's remains who was murdered in a bungled kidnap-ransom plot 54 years ago. 

Mrs McKay was 55 when she was snatched from her home in Wimbledon, south west London, in December 1969 by brothers Nizamodeen and Arthur Hosein in the mistaken belief she was the wife of Rupert Murdoch.

She was actually married to the media tycoon's right-hand man, Alick McKay. 

Her son Ian McKay, 82, and grandson Mark Dyer, 59, joined the search this week but today blasted cops claiming they are looking in the wrong area.

Mr McKay accused officers of 'ignoring Nizam's specific information' of where his mother is and has been left annoyed by the force's reluctance to jet him over considering 'he is the man who buried her'. 

'Nizam has indicated quite accurately where he buried my mother,' he told Good Morning Britain.

Mr Dyer says Nizamodeen is currently being 'cleaned up' in a Trinidad hotel ready to be flown over to assist in the search, but the police won't pay for him to make the journey. 

Scotland Yard Detective Superintendent Katherine Goodwin - who led the hunt to snare Sarah Everard's killer Wayne Couzens - was drafted in in a bid to finally find Mrs McKay's remains after two previous searches failed to find her. 

Mr Dyer told Good Morning Britain the family has offered to pay for the killer's near eight hour flight and that DSU Goodwin had written to him to say they would welcome Nizamodeen's help. 

'But [she said] we are not paying for him [Nizam] and we don't know about the Home Office - we are not going to influence the Home Office,' he said. 

'The cost we said we would cover. Nizam Hosein is at the moment being cleaned up in Trinidad in a hotel waiting to be flown to London.'

Asked by co-host Richard Madeley whether it might happen, Mr Dyer replied: 'I'm hoping.' 

Mr McKay told GMB Nizam and his sibling had drugged his mother with anti-psychotic drug Largactil and one day had stood up and collapsed and died after having a heart attack. 

Around 20 forensic and specialist officers are involved in the operation which earlier this week was focusing in and around a barn at the site where a manure heap once stood.

Her abductors took her to Stocking Farm in Stocking Pelham, Hertfordshire – then known as Rook's Farm and where Arthur was living – and demanded £1 million. But attempts to hand over some money failed and she was never seen again. 

The brothers were later jailed for life for blackmail, kidnap and murder following a trial at the Old Bailey which made UK legal history as the first conviction of its kind without the victim's body.

A search of the farm took place at the time and another in 2022, although neither elicited any evidence of Mrs McKay's remains.

Nizamodeen, 75, has since provided fresh information after being contacted by his victim's daughter, Dianne, 84, and her son Mr Dyer leading to the excavation of a site this week.

Mark arrived at the farm on Tuesday with Dianne's brother Ian who described it as a 'place of horror' and revealed he was 'apprehensive' about the visit and had deliberately 'stayed away' from the site previously.

Ian has tavelled from his home in Australia and previously expressed anger that detectives had not allowed Nizamodeen to fly in from his native Trinidad to aid the five-day joint operation between Hertfordshire Constabulary and the Metropolitan Police.
