[ad_1]
Rania Alayed, 25, died after she was killed by her husband Ahmed Al-Khatib in 2013, with prosecutors saying that he murdered the woman at his brother’s flat in Salford, before disposing of her body at the side of the A19.
The body of the Syrian-born mum-of-three has still not been found more than ten years after she was killed, despite numerous efforts from police to find her remains.

Extensive searches have taken place throughout the years, including one on a BBC documentary that looked for answers for Rania’s family.
At the time, Al-Khatib said he had buried Rania, who moved from Norton in Teesside to Salford in 2013, between trees near the A19 in Thirsk.
Earlier this week, Greater Manchester Police confirmed that it had been given clearance to dig land near the A19 for the remains of Rania Alayed, following “new information” coming to light.
But in an update issued on Friday (October 20), the police force said that their new investigations had come to nothing.
A spokesperson for Greater Manchester Police said: “For the past two weeks officers from Greater Manchester Police have conducted a detailed search of an area of land on the A19, near Thirsk.

“The search was conducted with the aim of recovering the body of Rania Alayed following new information becoming available.
“Sadly, this search has now concluded and the body of Rania has not been recovered. As with all investigations, if any new credible information comes to light, officers will conduct the relevant enquiries.
“GMP’s Major Incident Team remain committed to finding Rania and would like to thank the public for their co-operation and support throughout whilst they continue to investigate.”
