Princess Zahra Aga Khan, daughter of the Aga Khan—co-owner of the racehorse Shergar—says the colt was killed “in an awful way” shortly after the 1983 kidnapping. Multiple outlets report that she describes the episode as one in which no ransom was ultimately paid. According to her account, the decision not to pay a ransom was connected to concerns about money potentially ending up with the wrong parties. The reports present her comments as a first detailed disclosure about what happened to the horse after he was taken during the high-profile disappearance that drew international attention. While the outlets reference her characterization of Shergar’s fate and the lack of ransom payment, they do not provide additional independently verified specifics about the method or timeline of the killing beyond her statements. The story reiterates the ongoing public interest in unresolved details surrounding the kidnapping and fate of Shergar, following her new remarks about his death and the handling of any ransom demands.
