GUJRAT: The parents of a British woman of Pakistani origin
along with her former husband and two others have been booked for
killing their own daughter in a village near Mangla in Jhelum district,
police said on Tuesday.
Syed Mukhtar Kazim, the husband
of 28-year-old Samia Shahid, alleged that his wife was killed by her
family in the name of so-called honour as she married him against the
will of her parents.
He lodged an FIR on July 23 against
Samia’s father Chaudhary Shahid, mother Imtiaz Bibi, sister Madiha
Shahid, cousin Mobeen and the deceased woman’s former husband Chaudhary
Shakil under Sections 302 (premeditated murder), 34 (common intention)
and 109 (abetment) of the Pakistan Penal Code.
The death of Samia was reported by her father to Mangla police on July 20.
The suspects, who belong to Dhok Pandori village, have denied the charges and insist that Samia had died of cardiac arrest.
