Is Suzanne Tamim uncovering a secret world from beyond the grave? The Lebanese pop star was brutally slain in her luxury Dubai apartment, her throat slashed and an arrest has now been made in her death. According to CNN, One of Egypt’s most politically connected businessmen, is accused of paying $2 million to have her killed.
This week, Egyptian authorities arrested real estate mogul Hisham Talaat Moustafa, said to be Tamim’s former lover. The tycoon is a top ruling party official close to President Hosni Mubarak’s powerful son, Gamal. In the past 10 years, he has become one of Egypt’s top billionaires, the owner of luxury hotels and beach resorts and a leading force in building Western-style suburbs ringing Cairo for the upper-class.
The singer had moved to Dubai, friends say, to break off her relationship with Moustafa, who is married. She rose to stardom in the late 1990s but then hit troubled times, separating from her Lebanese husband-manager who filed a series of lawsuits against her.
According to Dubai investigators, el-Sukkary stalked the singer the morning of July 28 to her apartment in the swanky Dubai Marina complex, overlooking the Persian Gulf and a harbor full of yachts. From the lobby, he rang her video intercom, showing her an ID of the management company from which she had recently bought the apartment. She buzzed him in, police say.
