A MOTHER-of-two will soon hear if her murder suspect husband is to be granted bail.
Alison El Hamri has been told to expect a decision this week on husband Majid, who has been held in a Swiss jail since he was extradited from the UK, in February.
Mrs El Hamri, of Coulby Newham, near Middlesbrough, has been told a "substantial'' surety would be required.
Her husband is being held as a suspect for the murder of a Swiss man, in the 1980s.
Case papers which reached Mrs El Hamri at the weekend say saliva traces on two cigarette butts found in the murdered man's home show the Eaglescliffe pizza shop worker probably smoked them.
Mrs El Hamri said: "My husband has not been formally charged with anything. He is a suspect. Their laws are so much different to ours.
"I am more annoyed and frustrated than anything."
