These come up fairly regularly in the “Gun Death?” Files.
A British court has found a mother and father guilty of murdering their teen-age daughter in a so-called honor killing.
The Chester Crown Court found that Iftikhar and Farzana Ahmed, both originally from Pakistan, suffocated their 17-year-old daughter, Shafilea, in 2003…..She said her parents thought that Shafilea was too westernized. She also said Alesha refused an arranged marriage.
Pretty horrible, but it isn’t a “Gun Death”, so it doesn’t count! Remember the UK has a low “Gun Death” rate! Its killings like this are why they are so low!
Feel safer now?
