Not much honour here...

But justice has been served.

//They have brought more dishonour on their family name and their community, than their daughter could ever have managed. //

Unfortunately perhaps not within their own community where this is possibly perceived as the honourable thing to do.

[Zeuhl]

Indeed Naomi.

One would like to think that this sort of behaviour will diminish in future generations when the influential 'Olds' have died-off.

[naomi24]

Zeuhl, I think it has to. Kids raised in the west will eventually rebel against against antiquated attitudes and barbaric practices - and against repression - as this poor girl did.

[Zeuhl]

That's true.

I was cautious because I know that brothers, sisters and cousins are often implicated in these outrageous cases but hopefully without the lead from the older generation they will be able to adjust their thinking.

[naomi24]

Let's hope so.

[sp1814]

Oh God - it gets worse...they killed her in front of her sister!

Evil.

Words can't express what I feel about this couple. Well, swear words would, but my post would be removed.

[sir.prize]

So they WERE both born in rural Pakistan. So why aren't they deported as undesirables? Send them back to their birthplace and see if they survive in their own 'loved community.'

[Zeuhl]

Why would it be ok to send them to a foreign country and risk them escaping justice?

No. In their daughter's 'honour', let them die in prison.

[keyplus90]

Yeah no honour in killing anyone let alone your own children. But I believe the punishment is not enough.

[TWR]

My opinion of these evil people, although the crime was committed here they should be deported & do their sentence where the orig came from & their house given to their family.

[sandyRoe]

Such a crime might not be taken as seriously in their country of origin as it is here. You wouldn't want them getting an early release, would you?

[TWR]

Of course I would not Sandy, but it would save the UK some money.

I very much doubt it taking into consideration that some of their young males are much worse than their elders.

One doesn't hear much about the 'Olds' nipping over to the terrorist training camps of Pakistan.

The father was fully westernised and married a white woman.

[emmie]

not so westernised that he didn't dump the first wife and married this woman
who has colluded in a most heinous crime.
