Bradford student murdered by uncle after she refused forced marriage

Both Yaseen and his brother Mohammed Khan were prohibited from going to the address where she was living as they held "similar" hard-line attitudes, the court heard.

Mr Pitter said: "At around 3.30 pm, Somaiya Begum sent final messages to her close companion and school friend. Not long after that, her telephone was to cease meaningful use. Mr Pitter said Khan had then gone to Carter Gate Works industrial yard where he had living quarters, before returning to Binnie Street at 5.29 pm.

"He then reversed his car up to the container entrance, however, the door was positioned in such a way as to obscure what he was doing from the CCTV camera." Somaiya's remains were found on the industrial site several days later by police on July 6, with a postmortem examination showing signs of "trauma and assault.""In addition, a metal spike of about 11 cm in length, was found embedded in the right side of her chest puncturing her lung in such a way that it indicated that it was caused prior to her death."

He also told the court that Yaseen had taken a "one-way" ticket to Pakistan not long before the trial commenced without giving his family a reason.
