CAIRO, 14 August 2003 — Essam Kendeel, the lawyer for the late Suad Husni’s family, said that he would file an appeal against a verdict at a UK inquest saying the actress committed suicide. Kendeel told Hia magazine, a sister publication of Arab News, the inquest failed to take into consideration evidence pointing to homicide. “I will ask that they examine the evidence. I will also ask that a court re-examine other evidence, such as contradictory statements from her friend Nadya Yousri regarding the reason cell phone messages were erased after she died, and why there was one pair of shoes in the kitchen and another pair on the balcony.”
Kendeel said he was studying the statements of a British police officer saying the investigation would be reopened if new evidence came to light or new witness statements were introduced.
