(BBC) A man who murdered his 20-year-old niece and dumped her body on wasteland after she refused a forced marriage has been jailed for life.
Mohammed Taroos Khan, 53, killed Somaiya Begum at her home before leaving her body wrapped up in a rug.
The Leeds Beckett University student’s body was found on Fitzwilliam Street, Bradford, in July 2022, 11 days after she went missing.
At Bradford Crown Court, Khan was given a minimum of 25 years in jail.
During the trial, jurors were told Miss Begum 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.”
