Tamim's father offers court 'further evidence'

The father of murdered Lebanese singer Suzan Tamim has said he still owns recordings of conversations between businessman Hisham Talat Moustafa and his daughter, and that he would submit them to the court if asked to.

Abdel Satar Tamim said he would hand over the recordings to the authorities if they were important for the investigation, Al Arabiya reported.

He also denied media reports that his daughter was married to the film-producer Adel Matouk or the Iraqi boxer Riyad al-Azzawi.

An Egyptian court on Thursday sentenced Moustafa and a former police officer to death for killing Tamim in her Dubai Marina apartment in July last year.

Moustafa on Sunday hired a new defence lawyer to pursue his appeal against the ruling.

Tamim claimed he had secrets, stories, and recordings that could amount to 10 books about his daughter, but said he would keep them safe and not trade them for money.

He said he had refused to accept blood money for his daughter’s murder because he believed the murder was premeditated, and that billions of pounds would not compensate “for Susan’s blood”.
