WalesOnline reports that police believe he is now in Tanzania. They are working with law enforcements agencies in New York and Tanzania to trace him but believe he has access to money which could help him evade police.

Detective Superintendent Paul Hurley of South Wales Police told the BBC: "We have been working closely with our counterparts in both NYPD and police officers in Tanzania.

"From our enquiries we have discovered that Almahri is very resourceful and has access to funds, which may further assist his evasion from law enforcement agencies.

"I consider this man to be a dangerous individual and would advise that any knowledge of his location or sightings of him are reported immediately to the authorities and he is not to be approached."

South Wales police said that Almahri had an "existing friendship" with Aburas.

Nadine's family released a statement and said: "She always wanted to help people and everybody loved her. She has left such a massive hole in our family and we will miss her so much."
