Adnan Abdul Hameed Al-Sane
CASE SUMMARY
On Friday 17th December 1993 it was reported in various UK newspapers that Greater Manchester Police had found the headless body of a man on Wyre Street, opposite Piccadilly Train Station.
The head belonging to the body wouldn’t be found for another 4 weeks, and was discovered 70 miles south in a field located in Cheslyn Hay, Cannock.
With no means of identifying the victim, investigators turned to forensic artist Richard Neave to produce an approximate reconstruction of the head and face. This led to the identity of the victim being confirmed as Adnan Abdul Hameed Al Sane, a multi-millionaire that lived in London for a number of years following a move from his native Kuwait.
