[b]Life for man who abused and then killed teenage bride from Pakistan [/b]
A husband who beat his teenage bride to death weeks after she arrived from Pakistan in an arranged marriage was convicted of her murder yesterday and jailed for life.
Shazad Khan, 25, whose 19-year-old wife's injuries were worse than any a Home Office pathologist had seen in a 16-year career, will serve a minimum of 15 years before he is eligible for parole.
The prospect of life in Britain held out hope for Khan's young bride Sabia Rani, who had left school at 13 to help with the cooking, cleaning and the raising of her siblings in the village of Palak, in the Mirpur district of Pakistan. She shared a small home there with her grandmother, parents, two brothers and one sister.
She met Khan when he visited Pakistan for a family funeral in December 2002 and they married, but it was not until December 2005 that she arrived in Britain, with no grasp of English and little sense of the lifestyle.
The first signs were not good. Her new husband expected domesticity from her and was unhappy to find that she did not place fresh sandwiches in his lunch box, which he left in the kitchen at the family home at Oakwood Grange, Roundhay, Leeds. When she did produce sandwiches, she had failed to establish that he was off work the following day, which also angered him.
Ms Rani also found herself living with up to eight - members of her husband's westernised family yet struggled to fit in with any of them, according to Khan.
She rarely saw her husband, who worked long hours and had three jobs. Khan told police that his own mother had raised five children while his father worked 14-hour days at a factory - so that is "how it would be" for Sabia.
The smallest tasks - visiting the supermarket or knowing how to apply the make-up her husband expected her to wear - were difficult for her, Khan told detectives under interview. He admitted this irritated him, as did her failure to fit in with the family.
Khan's mother believed Ms Rani was possessed by evil spirits. This was confirmed by a "holy man" in Bradford, who did not meet Ms Rani but told her in-laws about her "problem" after performing a ceremony involving a top she wore.
Khan told his work supervisor that he was unhappy with his marriage because he had been rushed into it, and soon began kicking and beating his wife.
Leeds Crown Court heard that Ms Rani's injuries, similar to those of a car crash victim, were so severe that she would have been in constant pain and ill for at least three weeks before she died.
Yet Khan's sister said she had seen no evidence of injuries. She and Ms Rani had been great friends, she said.
Ms Rani was found dead in a bath of cold water at the family home on 21 May last year, after another attack.
The Recorder of Leeds, Judge Norman Jones, QC, criticised Khan's family. "I can't help but note that others in that house, that very intimate family, must have known," he said. The court heard further inquiries where being made with the family following the conviction.

Man! That is just terrible!
And no-one else in the family knew? Yeah right!
How awful...
[b]SEX BEAST ATE 17 KIDS [/b]
A SERIAL killer has allegedly confessed to having sex with 17 child victims after they were dead before eating them.
Police claim ex-cook Surender Koli admitted the murders after he was given a truth drug. He allegedly used sweets to lure his victims to a house in New Delhi, India.
Businessman's servant Koli was held after neighbours complained of a stench from a drain where police found body parts.
Six police were later sacked for failing to "take seriously" reports of missing children.
Yesterday police chief Kiran Bedi, said: "This was a preventable tragedy."

To be beautiful is to expect nothing in return.
no his mother said the girl had a jinn in her. :roll: someone shud go beat up the 'holy man'. maybe then he'll consider a new career.
:evil: as for the guy and his family, such people should be given the death sentence. if they lived as an extended family they would've known what was going on. lilsis's label of 'caveman mentality' seriously applies here. it makes me so mad. :evil:

Gotta say water intoxication is pretty scary.drinking as little as 1.8litres in a short period of time can be fatal.

India rape accused weds 'victim'
An Indian man accused of raping a girl has married his alleged victim in a religious ceremony in a temple within the compound of a law court.
Kamalnath Patel, a 22-year-old farmer, offered to marry the girl during the trial in Madhya Pradesh state.
He is accused of kidnapping and raping her two years ago, when she was 16.
Prosecutors said the marriage may mean the court takes a more lenient view if Mr Patel is convicted. Campaigners called the marriage "shameful".
The issue of rape still attracts a lot of stigma in India - in most cases members of the public blame the victim for the crime committed against her.
Families present
A court in the central city of Jabalpur has been hearing the case for the last couple of months. The next hearing is on Saturday.
Special public prosecutor Umesh Vaidya said the "court may take cognisance of the fact that the accused has married the alleged victim".
Mr Vaidya said: "Family members from both sides had told the court during the last hearing that they wanted the boy and the girl to get married."
He said the court would be informed of the wedding at the next hearing.
An eyewitness said the marriage was solemnised in the presence of the girl's family members, although Mr Patel's father refused to participate in the ceremony.
The couple were to appear before the registrar of marriages on Wednesday to have their marriage registered.
'Distressing'
Women rights' activist, Kiran Walia, called the marriage "shameful".
"It is more distressing since the court was aware of the impending wedding plan," Ms Walia said.
Last year, a Delhi court asked a nurse to consider a marriage proposal from a man who had been convicted of raping and assaulting her.
Women's groups, including the National Commission for Women, criticised the court for even entertaining such a proposal.
The nurse rejected the offer and the judge gave her attacker a life sentence.
Rape cases have been rising steadily in India although a large number of them still go unreported.

A rose protects its beauty with thorns..a woman protects hers with a veil
Who knows? Across the middle east, reporting and record-keeping concerning rape is shrouded in mystery.

u know that story of the young pakistani bride being killed by her husband? hear stories like that all the time from my sis, and more than often on the news. many tend to come from Birmingham, and usually be based on pakistani origins. However ive heard about some bengali cases..me sis is a brummie, she has local stories. i.e remember that man who killed a pakistani bride to be on her wedding day then escaped abroad..got caught in end? My sis was living a street away from them lot before..yikes.
it sounds like such a ghetto duno how she lives there. Recently she moved into a posh nosh area but still im apprehensive. She said nevermind we have an alarm system in place, i said mm the burglars will steal that too, that's the brummie style loool.

[b]Pakistani girl sold to pay-off gambling debt[/b]
The mother of a girl in Pakistan claimed by a man in lieu of a 16 year old gambling debt has appealed to the authorities for help.
The woman told journalists in the southern city of Hyderabad that she feared for her daughter's safety.
Women are often used as collateral to settle debts and feuds amongst tribesmen in rural Pakistan.
Last year, Pakistan's ruling political party introduced legislation to outlaw forced marriages under tribal customs.
Tribal justice
Nooran Bibi said her late husband had promised her daughter, Rasheeda, to one Lal Haider in lieu of a poker game debt amounting to 10,000 rupees ($164).
The mother says Rasheeda was a year old when her husband told Mr Haider that he could have her instead "when she grew up", reports the Associated Press news agency.
After Rasheeda turned 17, Mr Haider had come to claim her, even though the debt had been paid off, the mother said.
She also complained that he had threatened her family if Rasheeda was not handed over.
Both families belong to a local tribe, and the case was referred to elders who ruled that the girl must be handed over to Mr Haider.
The matter is now with the local police who have registered a case against Mr Haider and the elders.
The use of women to settle blood feuds and debts in tribal society in Pakistan by promising them in marriage remains widespread despite recent reforms.
In November 2006, the ruling PML-Q political party introduced legislation in parliament to outlaw such marriages.
The new bill criminalises customs such as vanni and swara, in which young girls are given away in marriage to settle feuds and debts.
It prescribes a maximum of three years' imprisonment for offenders in these cases.

May Allah shine sweet faith upon you this day and times beyond. May your heart be enriched with peace, and may your home be blessed always. Ameen.

Comeback for 'non-offensive' pigs
Organisers of a children's concert have given the go-ahead for the three little pigs to appear, after they were banned over fears they might offend Muslims.
Honley Junior School in West Yorkshire was to perform the Roald Dahl story of Little Red Riding Hood and the pigs - but was told to substitute puppies.
Now Kirklees Council has stepped in to allow the pigs a reprieve.
No complaints had been made about the pigs appearing in the Kirklees Primary Music Festival event.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/bradford/6456961.stm
I cant speak for all Muslims, but pigs have never 'offended' me. And I don't understand why many non Muslims got out of their way to make sure that offense is not caused by them.
I can't understand it either.
It's not like they're gonna eat them after the concert :roll:.
Btw I can't understand why the BBC would think this story is newsworthy.

Not really offbeat, but horrific:
Not many stories have any effect on me, but I was reading the kalima while reading that.

Crimes like that make me sick.
Why were they convicted of manslaughter?...It should have been murder. Don't tell me their defence was that they were too young.
People who commit crimes like this should be executed, they are a waste of space.
Why are they called 'feral' boys, where are their parents?
