James Hachem, 37, is serving a minimum 18-year prison term for the murder but investigators had been unable to find her body
Human remains found near a highway overpass have been identified as belonging to Sydney woman Samah Baker, who was murdered by her jealous ex-boyfriend more than four years ago.
James Hachem, 37, is serving a minimum 18-year prison term for the killing, which his sentencing judge described as a “great human tragedy”. “The news of her remains being discovered four and a half years later isn’t a neat resolution, but it does offer a small measure of what we’ve been longing for all this time,” they said.
During that search, they located a number of items of interest but did not find her remains. However, two days later Hachem was charged with her murder.
