(BBC) A man has been found guilty of murdering his 20-year-old niece after she refused a forced marriage.
Mohammed Taroos Khan, 53, killed Somaiya Begum before dumping her body on wasteland in Bradford in July 2022.
Jurors heard the university student was subject to a forced marriage protection order at the time of her death due to attempts by her father to force her to marry a cousin “by threat of violence.”
Khan was convicted of murder after a trial at Bradford Crown Court.
The student’s body was found wrapped in a rug, tied up with string, on land near Fitzwilliam Street 11 days after she went missing.
