This is a quite shocking story about a so-called honour killing in London. What sort of family forces one of its daughters to marry an abusive illiterate then murders her because she has brought "shame" on them by abandoning the marriage and taking up with a man who doesn't beat and sexually abuse her?
This was quite a high profile case, and is all the more shocking because the victim went to the police repeatedly, warning them that if anything happened to her...and giving them the names of her killers. We see footage of her said to have been aired for the first time. Eventually, in spite of omertà on a colossal scale, justice was done. It was though a pity this programme had to include a contribution from the odious Nazir Afzal.
