Quote:
A father accused of murdering his daughter because he believed she had brought shame on his family broke down in court today as he denied the charge.
Iftikhar Ahmed denied ever hurting his daughter or having anything to do with the murder.
Asked by Tom Bayliss QC, defending, how he felt about his wife, Ahmed said: "I love her to bits."
He said that had not changed, even after she changed her story.
Mr Bayliss said: "Have you ever caused any harm to your daughter Shafilea?"
Ahmed said: "No."
Mr Bayliss said: "Were you responsible for the death of your daughter?"
He replied: "No."
He added: "We were devastated to find out that she had left home in the first place." When he was asked how he felt when his daughter's body was found, he struggled to respond, before adding in a strained voice: "We couldn't believe it when we heard."
