Well it happened here locally in Mitcham re a daughter Banaz Mahmod in a
Kurdish?immigrant family wanted to marry against the wishes of her father
-and was brutally killed by her father and uncle and distant cousin-for he
was of the wrong tribe - shocking -she had contacted the police four times
in fear for her life and this was the second attempt to murder her
