Sadly the item referred to below is no longer available. What was especially shocking about Banaz's death, apart from the fact that she went to the police some years before to tell them what was happening to her, was that as part of the planned process of killing her, (after her parents left the house, supposedly to go shopping), she was subjected to depraved sexual abuse by relatives. Later, and caught on a police bugging device, one of the killers was heard to boast, that in degrading her sexually, his objective was, to destroy her soul, so that (according to his mindset), she would die worthless.

Last night quite by chance, I came across the story of Banaz Mahamod. It was broadcast on ITV 1. It is still available on their I Player, so if you can spare 50 minutes, please watch it; but I must warn you, that the description of how Banaz died is detailed and especially disturbing, so have regard to that in making your decision
