A family who left a young bride in a vegetative state after she was poisoned with prescription pills and doused with a corrosive substance have been jailed for seven years.
The victim, Ambreen Fatima Sheikh, 39, originally from Pakistan, was “tricked or forced” into taking glimepiride — a drug used to treat type 2 diabetes — in July 2015 because she had “not lived up to expectations” following her arranged marriage to Asgar Sheikh.
