(Manchester) In 2003, 17-year-old Shafilea Ahmed went missing. For some strange reason, her parents didn't report her missing, and it was actually a teacher who reported her disappearance to the police a week later.
Anyway, 6 months later, workmen, working up in the lake districts, found a badly decomposed body which had been dismembered. When the body was identified as belonging to Shafilea, naturally, the parents expressed shock and horror and cried for the camera.
The thing is, the police knew exactly who had killed this young woman, but they had no evidence. Trial after trail saw the parents acquitted and, naturally, they played the race card in which to silence their critics. Until, that is, when Shafilea's younger sister, worried that she too would be murdered like her older sister, broke ranks and reported her parents to the police for murder. Well, that was the breakthrough the police were after, and once they found out how the parents murdered Shafilea in the front room, with her mother holding her down while her farther shoved a plastic bag into her mouth, the writing was on the wall for these two odious things who, instead of dying to protect their young, killed her in which to regain their honour. Protesting to the very end, they both received 25 years in prison. As they were led away, she cried and he swore at the police.
