''The Manchester Evening News reports that police are treating the theory she was killed for disgracing her community seriously, despite denials from within her own family.

Detective Chief Inspector Liz Hopkinson, of the force's major incident team, told the paper: 'I would say that if Hadir has been killed it is by somebody who is known to her or by someone connected.

'If this is a murder, someone is willing to murder, without a second thought, a young woman, and mum of a little girl, for me that is someone who really does not have a concern for people or life.'

Ms Al-Enezi and her daughter came to the UK in 2018 as refugees from Kuwait via Greece.

Both are members of the Bidoon Arab minority, who are deemed stateless and cannot access basic services in Kuwait, and are not wanted in neighbouring Iraq.

The hypothesis that she was killed for disgracing her culture has been dismissed by her parents, who are reported to have told police they would have known if their daughter had been in trouble.

But police say other theories - including the idea that she abandoned her daughter and returned to Greece - simply don't hold water.

An insistent DCI Hopkinson told the MEN: 'I want people to come forward and tell me where the body is.'

Over the course of four years police have spoken to more than 20 members of Ms Al-Enezi's family in Greece and Sweden in a bid to piece together what happened to her. Her marriage is understood to have ended before she came to the UK.''

''Detectives believe the answer lies somewhere within either the local communities of Manchester or in her extended family.

Leaflets are being written in Arabic - including in regional dialects - to be distributed among locals.

In a statement issued by GMP on Saturday, DCI Hopkinson said the hypothesis remains that Ms Al-Enezi was 'murdered in a targeted attack'.

She added: 'Throughout our investigation we have worked tirelessly as a team to find her, and we've still not been able to find any proof that Hadir is still alive, and we sadly continue this investigation on the hypothesis that she is not and has come to serious harm.''
''Police have offered a £50,000 reward to anyone with information on the body of a mother who went missing in 2019.

Hadir Al-Enezi, originally from Kuwait, arrived in the UK with her daughter on November 7 2018 as a refugee and was taken in by family members living in Rusholme, Greater Manchester Police (GMP) said.

She was reported missing and detectives subsequently opened an investigation in 2019.

GMP’s Major Incident Team are working with the hypothesis she was murdered in a targeted attack, having been a member of the Bidoon Arab minority.''

“We need to find answers for Hadir’s little girl and it is vital that anyone with information or her whereabouts comes forward to police so that we can give her young daughter the answers she deserves.

“We need to find Hadir’s body, and anyone who has any information is asked to share this with GMP as a matter of urgency, it may be key to helping us find answers for her daughter.

“We now have a £50,000 reward available for anyone who has key information that will lead detectives to the body of Hadir.

A Major Public Portal has been set up, where members of the public can submit information, images, or video footage that may be able to assist the investigation.


Detectives can be contacted directly on 0161 856 0110 or the independent charity Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.''

''Detectives have interviewed more than 20 members of Hadir's family in Greece and Sweden in an attempt to get a picture of her life and why it apparently ended so brutally. Today, GMP announced a reward of £50,000 for information leading to recovery of her body. In addition letters are to be posted to members of a specific ethnic minority in Manchester pleading for assistance.''


'Detective Chief Inspector Liz Hopkinson of GMP's Major Incident Team, said: "People who present as Bidoon are in effect stateless and can present to the European Continent. They are not recognised in Kuwait and not wanted in Iraq."

''The GMP investigation has been conducted in a highly sensitive way. DCI Hopkinson said: "We are dealing with people, who, with due respect, do not use calendars - because that's how they live. When we were talking to family, especially females, we had to make sure they were safe and they could speak freely."

I wonder who the 2 men are that were arrested in 2019. Did they have additional court hearings??
