AN Arab billionaire's son listed as a Facebook friend of a murdered socialite has been named by police as a prime suspect in the blonde's death.

Yemen born Farooq Abdulhak, 26, was allegedly the last person to see Martine Vik Magnussen alive after leaving the exclusive Maddox Club with her early Friday morning.

The Norwegian socialite's body was found two days later, partially buried under a pile of rubble in the basement of an exclusive London apartment building where Mr Abdulhak was reportedly living.

The Daily Mail reported that Magnussen was believed to have been strangled, although investigators told the newspaper that further scientific analysis was being carried out on her body.

The Norwegian media has dubbed the case “the Facebook Murder”.

Mr Abdulhak and the 23-year-old blonde studied business together at the prestigious Regent’s College in London.

They were listed as friends on Magnussen’s Facebook page, but Mr Abdulhak has since deleted his online profile.

Associates of Mr Abdulhak tried to contact him over the weekend but he did not reply to calls or texts.

Mr Abdulhak’s father Shaher, a Yemeni billionaire, is a major hotelier and Pepsi-Cola executive. Farooq was born in Yemen, but has lived in London since he was a child.
