Two-hour rape and torture of honour killing girl murdered by her family
Last updated at 22:25pm on 19th July 2007
Horrific details have been revealed of the last hours of the young Kurdish woman murdered by her family for falling in love with the wrong man.
Banaz Mahmod, 20, was brutally raped and stamped on during a two-hour ordeal before being garotted.
One of her killers, the Old Bailey was told, was 30-year-old Mohamad Hama, who had been recruited by Banaz's father Mahmod Mahmod, 52, and his brother Ari, 51.
Both were found guilty of murder last month.
The shocking details of the killing came to light when Hama was secretly recorded talking to a friend in prison.
He admitted "slapping" and "f***ing" Banaz, who was subjected to degrading sex acts.
Hama and his friend were heard laughing as he described how she was killed in her family home in Mitcham, South London, with Ari Mahmod "supervising".
The murderers - two other suspects have fled to Iraq - had been told Banaz would be on her own.
Hama is recorded as saying: "Ari (the uncle) said there is no one there. There was someone there, Biza (her sister). The bastard lied to us."
He said of the murder: "I swear to God it took him more than two hours. Her soul and her life would not leave."
Banaz was garotted for five minutes, said Hama, but it took another half an hour for her to die.
Hama said: "The wire was thick and the soul would not just leave like that.
"We could not remove it. All in all it took five minutes (to strangle) her.
"I was kicking and stamping on her neck to get the soul out. I saw her stark naked, without wearing pants or underwear."
Banaz's body was packed into a suitcase and buried in a garden in Birmingham, where it was found three months later.
The trial of the two brothers heard that Banaz was killed because she had walked out of an unhappy arranged marriage - which she was forced into at just 17 - and fallen in love with Iranian Kurd Rahmat Suleimani, 28.
The pair had been secretly seeing each other, but her family were furious when they found out because Mr Suleimani was not "immediate family" or a strict Muslim.
Terrified, Banaz wrote to police naming people she said were planning to kill her.
Hama was on the list, the court heard. Two other men named by Banaz have fled the country.
Transcripts of the prison recording were read out at a pre- sentence hearing for Hama, of South Norwood, South London, who pleaded guilty to murdering Banaz at an earlier hearing.
Judge Brian Barker, the Common Serjeant of London, sat to assess the extent of Hama's involvement.
He and the Mahmod brothers are due to be sentenced tomorrow.
Victor Temple QC, prosecuting, told the court that Hama, who sat impassively in the dock, took a "leading part" in raping and killing Banaz in January last year then dumping her body.
He was said to have been recorded expressing concern because his fingerprints and DNA were on her body.
He was also concerned that a leaking pipe at the house where she was buried was sending water through the suitcase, possibly uncovering it.
During another taped conversation, Hama joked about Banaz's hair and elbow sticking out of the suitcase and how a police patrol drove past while he was helping to drag it to a car.
He said: "The road was crowded. The police came past. People were passing by - and we were dragging the bag.
"I almost ran away. Mr Ari (was dragging it) and we were around by each side of him.
"You know what it was, sticking out, her elbow, her hair was falling out so much. That was a stupid thing, a silly thing."
Defence barrister Malcolm Swift QC claimed Hama became involved only after Banaz's body had been put in the suitcase.
He told the court there was no direct evidence that Hama was present at the time of the murder - he took part in the planning but "had realised the error of becoming directly involved in the killing".
Hama's car was outside his home throughout the morning of the killing and his mobile phone could not be linked to the murder scene.
Mr Swift said Hama got his information on the killing from others, including Ari Mahmod.
disgusting evil swine
What actions must these Islamo-facists undertake before they are removed from Western society? If this action isn’t enough to convince the left wing liberal idiots, then what do they need for proof that Islam is not the peaceful religion it claims to be?
The highest order of multiculturalism is to accept all cultures and embrace diversity
Get with the program
Islam the religion of PEACE just as they kill Christians and Jews or anyone else of any other religion on a DAILY basis.
These muslim scum look for any excuse to rape and torture.
You people are too thick-headed to ever get it, for sure.
(The following is sarcasm on my part) She deserved to die. She was Muslim. If her own family didn’t kill her, the US should bomb her family and HER too.
We must declare war on the entire religion of Islam and every Muslim, isn’t that what you people keep on advocating??
Don’t shout your ROP Alerts at ME, then proceed to condemn the killers of this girl but not the girl. According to your own absurd “logic”, they are all the same and should all be wiped out.
DUH!
Those are angry, hateful, mentally disturbed people.
They treat each other brutally.
Their main commandment seems to be “do unto others to make them suffer as much as possible”
The are creating angry mentally disturbed children who grow up to brutalize
other people and make them angry and mentally disturbed.
It pervades the whole death cult. It’s part of their culture.
Therefore NONE of them should be allowed into the USA, and those who are here should be EXPELLED!
These wackjobs don’t have a religion. They’re as demented and sick as the Gestapo. They’re rabid animals that need to be destroyed. The others that practice this “religion of peace” are equally as guilty as the extremists among them. By not stopping them, they’re all to blame, IMO. Meanwhile, they’re infiltrating our country and the rest of the world.
Liberals beware of what you sow for it will come to destroy you too.
How crazy is it to RAPE a woman to punish her for her alleged sexual sins?
“These are the animals that “politically-correct” Liberals defend. Hour by hour, day by day, it gets worse.”
And just today, Rush and Hannity are reporting that the scum-ocrats are trying to remove provisions from a bill that would protect citizens from lawsuits when they report suspicious activity of these dirt-bags.
My God. The entire family is so brainwashed in the cult of Islam that her own sister supervised the torture. That really is the depths of depravity.
So a father makes someone rape and kill his daughter!
I have said before, and I say it again:
These are not humans. They do not have DNA. There is absolutely nothing in common between them and humans. There is no possibility of talking with them or negotiating with them.

The elitist traitors in the US Congress have forgotten it is “we the People” not “we the Liberals and RINOs in the Congress.” It’s up to the American people to clean out Congress.
