Lebanese pop star Suzanne Tamim was found brutally murdered in her luxury Dubai apartment at the end of July and now the sad story takes a surprising twist.

Police have charged Egyptian billionaire businessman Hisham Talaat Mustafa with paying $2 million to have his former lover killed.  Police have also arrested a former policeman who they believe carried out the killing, Mohsen al-Sukkari.Egypt has a reputation for allowing the well connected wealthy skirt above the law, but this arrest bucks a disturbing trend in the country that has seen big business get away with practically anything.
