Samia murder: Court denies bail in 'honour killing' case
2016-09-11
[DAWN] The court on Saturday denied bail to the father of a British woman believed to have been the victim of an "honour killing."

Samia Shahid, a dual national, was murdered in July during a visit to her family village in Punjab

2.) A province of Pakistain ruled by one of the Sharif brothers
3.) A province of India. It is majority (60 percent) Sikh and Hindoo (37 percent), which means it has relatively few Moslem riots....

province.

"There was a hearing into the bail application by Samia Shahid's father, but the court rejected it," defence lawyer Mian Arif told AFP.

Arif said that the next hearing would take place next week in Jhelum, while the accused would file another bail petition to the high court.

The victims's second husband, Mukhtar Kazam, claims she was murdered for bringing "dishonour" to her family.

Kazam has said his wife had angered her parents by converting to his sect, before their wedding.

Police have accused her ex-husband Muhammad Shakeel and father Muhammad Shahid of being involved in her killing.

Shahid's ex-husband has also been charged with raping her.

Police have also accused Samia's mother and sister of abetting the crime; however, the two have fled to the UK, according to police.
