Shafilea's Parents Found Guilty Of Murder

The parents of murdered schoolgirl Shafilea Ahmed have been found guilty of murdering her in an apparent "honour killing".

Iftikhar Ahmed, 52, and his wife Farzana, 49, suffocated Shafilea, 17, with a plastic bag in 2003.

Shafilea's sister Alesha told the jury at Chester Crown Court her parents pushed Shafilea onto the settee in their house and she heard her mother say "just finish it here" as they forced a plastic bag into the teenager's mouth and killed her in front of their other children.
