A prominent Egyptian businessman has been arrested for allegedly paying a hitman $2 million to kill Lebanese singer Suzanne Tamim.
As previously reported, Tamim, who was the winner of a TV talent show in Lebanon in 1996, was found murdered at her home in Dubai in July. She is understood to have fled Lebanon to Egypt a number of years ago after a bitter legal battle with her second husband, music producer Adel Maatouk. She was thought to have moved to Dubai last year.
Hisham Talaat Moustafa is now accused of hiring a hitman to kill Tamim as an act of revenge after an affair the father of three was conducting with the singer ended badly.
