A young female student who refused to enter an arranged marriage was brutally murdered by her uncle with a metal spike in her chest in a suspected ‘honour killing,’ a court has heard.
Somaiya Begum was found with the 11cm-long ‘Bradawl’ tool – a sharpened metal woodwork implement – stuck in the right side of her chest.
Prosecutors allege the 20-year-old’s uncle, Mohammed Taroos Khan, used the tool to kill her.
