THE DAILY TELEGRAPH: The parents of murdered teenager Shafilea Ahmed have been charged with killing her, Cheshire Police said on Wednesday.
The 17-year-old's decomposed remains were discovered in Cumbria in February 2004 after she disappeared from her home in Warrington, Cheshire, in September 2003. She was the victim of a suspected honour killing.
South Cumbria coroner Ian Smith later recorded a verdict of unlawful killing, saying he believed the teenager was probably murdered.
Cheshire Police said today the teenager's father, Iftikhar, 51, and mother Farzana, 48, have been charged with murder and will appear at Halton Magistrates' Court, in Runcorn, later today.
The couple have always denied any involvement in their daughter's death. » | Wednesday, September 07, 2011
