Pak origin Muslim couple in UK killed daughter for her western lifestyle

A Pakistani-origin Muslim couple in Britain killed their teenage daughter because her westernised lifestyle brought shame on their strict lifestyle, a court has heard.

Pretty Shafilea Ahmed, 17, was murdered and dumped by a river near Sedgwick, Cumbria hours after she was killed in September 2003.

Shafilea’s body was discovered five months after the incident, The Sun reports.

But her death remained a mystery for seven years, until October 2010, when her sister Alesha, arrested for robbery, told the police about the murder.

Prosecutor Andrew Edis, QC, told Chester Crown Court that Alesha, now 23, but 15 at the time, was the only evidence about the murder.

Edis revealed that Shafilea had fought with her father Iftikhar, 52, and mother Farzana, 49, over her wish to have boyfriends and wear western clothes.

Her parents had taken her to Pakistan six months before her death in an attempt to force her into an arranged marriage.

But during the trip, Shafilea drank bleach in protest and the parents were forced to bring her back for medical treatment.

Edis said the couple killed their daughter at their home in Warrington, Cheshire, “because her conduct was bringing shame upon them”.

Alesha made her claims after being arrested for a robbery at her parents’ home, which she admitted to.

The parents of Shafilea have, however, denied the murder charges. The case against them still continues.
