It’s probably standard operating procedure to ‘launch an investigation’ if there is a media outcry about the story. But it sounds like the police did all that they could legally do. Of course, that won’t stop some in the media from screaming about them.

Contrary to the impression given by the thread title,

Thle impression conveyed is of course dependent upon the reader.  It was intended to illustrate that it was an ongoing concern and not a spur of the moment crime.  There is only so much that can be done with the severely limited amount of space made available for posts.

Coming to America.

I am disgusted everytime I see these vermin walking my streets with their women shrouded following behind them like chattel.

They already have their own big piece of the world...they are not welcome here....at least not by me unless we owe them sanctuary.

Lest anyone glosses over the fact, a “father” killed his own daughter and stuffed her body in a suitcase and buried it under the family’s patio.

This is satanic sick.

Agreed, and let's also not forget that it's quite a popular cultural practice in a very large part of the world, which further illustrates the fact that some cultures are indeed demonstrably better than others....something that the Left would prefer that people not believe....."All cultures are equally valid" and all that rot.

I guess if the Moooo’s don’t wear a wife beaters t-shirt then NOW and fee-male polidiots & presstitutes don’t care that they treat women worse than livestock......

This is satanic sick. Islam=Submission

Savages!
Wait,....the President is addressing this, he has a message. Listen,...
OK, Never mind. It’s just his Religion of Peace bullshit AGAIN.

[zeugma]

Why do they even bother with names? If they are all going to use the same one, what’s the point?

Her poor mother obviously didn't have any control over the situation.

In numerous cases of these so-called "honor killings", the female members of the family are actually accomplices helping the killers. I recall seeing one case on Court TV in Missouri where both father and mother were tried, convicted and sentenced to death for something similar (although no executions have been, nor will be carried out, the father have died of cancer prior to his execution, and the mother's sentence being commuted...)

True, but I didn’t see anything in the story implicating the mother, just the savages who actually did it.

British Court Finds Muslim Father Guilty of Murdering Daughter in 'Honor Killing'

(edit)

"Her death is the latest in an increasing trend of such killings in Britain, home to some 1.8 million Muslims. More than 100 homicides are under investigation as potential "honor killings."

(emphasis added)

(edit)

 

"During the three-month trial, prosecutors said Mahmod's father beat his daughter for using hairspray and adopting other Western ways. Her uncle once told her she would have been "turned to ashes" if she were his daughter and had shamed the family by becoming involved with the Iranian Kurd, her sister 22-year-old Bekhal Mahmod testified.

Banaz Mahmod ran away from home when she was a teenager but returned when her father sent her an audio tape in which he warned he would kill her sisters, her mother and himself if she did not come home, her sister said.

She was later hospitalized after her brother attacked her, the sister told the court. The brother said he had been paid by their father to finish her off but in the end was unable to do it, said the sister, who testified in a full black burqa. She said she still feared for her own life.

The years of Banaz Mahmod's abuse were compounded by police officers who repeatedly dismissed her cries for help.

She first went to police in December 2005, saying she suspected her uncle was trying to kill her and her boyfriend. She sent police a letter naming the men who she thought would later kill her.

On New Year's Eve, she was lured by her father to her grandmother's home, where she suspected he planned to attack her after he forced her to gulp down brandy and approached her while wearing gloves. She escaped by breaking a window and was treated at a hospital.

Police dismissed her suspicions, and one officer, who is under investigation, considered charging her with damages for breaking her grandmother's window."

 

(edit)

 

"Her body wasn't discovered until three months later after police tracked phone records.

Britain has seen more than 25 women killed by their Muslim relatives in the past decade for offenses they believed brought shame on the family. More than 100 other homicides are under investigation as potential honor killings.

Some Muslim communities in Britain practice Sharia, or strict Islamic law.

"We're seeing an increase around the world, due in part to the rise in Islamic fundamentalism," said Diana Nammi with the London-based ."

strange, the last sentence didn’t post correctly. It should read: “.... with the London based Iranian and Kurdish Women’s Rights Organization”
