Honor Killing - Muslim Girl Murdered

Banaz Mahmod was raped, tortured and murdered after falling in love with a man her family did not want her to marry.

Her father Mahmod Mahmod, 52, and uncle Ari Mahmod, 50, from Mitcham, London, were convicted of murder on Monday 11th June 2007.

Banaz Mahmod was 20 years old, and very much in love, when she was strangled with a bootlace and her body stuffed into a suitcase.

According to the prosecution, Banaz had to pay the "ultimate price" for bringing shame on her Muslim family. The court heard that Banaz was murdered at her home in Mitcham in Surrey in January 2006. Four months later, the suitcase containing her body was found buried more than 100 miles (160 km) away, deep beneath the foundations of a house in a Birmingham suburb. Having left an arranged and unhappy marriage, Banaz had started a relationship with Rhamat Sulemani. Mr Sulemani, 29, broke down in tears when giving testimony at the trial. He said they had been threatened with death if they carried on seeing each other. The court heard that her father, Mahmod Mahmod and her uncle, Ari Mahmod recruited young men from the Muslim community to carry out the murder. Banaz's sister, Bekhal Mahmod, gave evidence in court that their father had also beaten, threatened and called her a whore for becoming too Westernised. Her uncle had said that she deserved to be "turned to ashes". Testifying from behind a screen at the Old Bailey, Ms Mahmod said, "I escaped what my sister went through, that's why she's not here".

The Chief Investigating Officer in this case, Caroline Goode, told the BBC: "I do think that we are only scratching the surface of this. One of the difficulties is that these things aren't often reported.

"In Banaz's case, if her boyfriend hadn't reported it, we would never have known that she was missing".

@AhmadDeedat786 I have no idea what you are talking about because that was an incoherent seemingly senseless rant.

So, tell us what she is if not muslim and in addition tell us where "10,000 Times More (Than Muslim Kountries) non-Muslim Women Are Killed By Their non-Muslim Men"

I bet you wont because it's utter rot. You people have a habit of inventing utter fantasy in defence of a savage medieval mentality then expect it wont be exposed as sheer stupidity.
