Shafilea Ahmed death: Serious case review call by charity

A charity for victims of honour crime is calling for a serious case review into Shafilea Ahmed's murder.
The 17-year-old went missing from her home in Warrington, Cheshire, in 2003. Her body found six months later.
She was suffocated by her parents Iftikhar and Farzana Ahmed after years of abuse.
Karma Nirvana said it has asked Warrington Local Safeguarding Children Board to investigate. It has yet to comment.
Karma Nirvana project manager Anup Manota said: "Serious lessons must be learnt from the tragic death of Shafilea so it never happens again.
"There were definitely flaws in this case. There were definite triggers and discussions about the threat of Shafilea being taken to Pakistan and being forced into marriage."
