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.
They look like pigs. Maybe that’s why they hate pigs so much.
we women are NOTHING in islam
The NOW gang and feminazis like Shrillery don’t give a $hit about these women. 1) These poor souls are scum to our spoiled so-called women leaders, and 2) these poor souls cannot be mined for votes.
Besides, the men in these poor souls’ lives are American haters, so our royal, so-called female leaders HAVE to take the monsters’ side.
Terrified, Banaz wrote to police naming people she said were planning to kill her.
Apparently the cops did little to help her. And, yet, under British law, people who use weapons to defend themselves are prosecuted.
This is the end result of a society that has surrendered to barbarism.
GoatHumpers delenda est!!!
Space them.
Cindy Sheeta$s comes immediately to mind.
I guess someone has to scream it from the news 24/7. Instead they are too busy telling us about Paris, Anna Nichole and the various athletes on steriods. There really is news out there if only someone would report it—it might wake some people up but that is even questionable. By the way, where are the Bush pictures with the Muslims telling us it is the religion of peace?
Maybe we need to send this story to Congress. Guess I will.
Oh, I just got the fact that this happened in Britain!
And who was it who said that the death cult members are assimilating?
Suicide is not a viable foreign policy option, and I hope those who agree with me are watching very closely at what transpires in Washington during these very dangerous times.
"...he described how she was killed in her family home in Mitcham, South London
Ain't diversity great... ;(
Imo by supporting these Islamo-fascists and giving them cover; And liberals tripping up efforts to protect ourselves from Islamists, I am starting to view the liberals as on the same side as the muslims. Sooner or later lefties will have to make a decision which side they are on. It will be a hard choice for them.. on the one hand a good life with liberty on our side, versus protecting a beloved underprivaleged minority on the other.

During the three-month trial in which the father and uncle were tried for murder, the jury was told that Miss Mahmod had approached police on four separate occasions saying she feared for her life. At one point she gave officers at Mitcham police station a list of five names of those she feared would one day kill her, including the name of Hama. A month before her murder, she told a police officer that her father had plied her with drink before trying to kill her.
An Independent Police Complaints Commission investigation and an internal Metropolitan Police inquiry were set up after the convictions to try to establish why further steps were not taken to save Miss Mahmods life. An officer who dealt with the case believed she was seeking attention and was drunk, despite needing treatment for cuts to her wrist.

Well, at this rate maybe there won’t be anymore Muslim females to propagate this horrid religion of piece../s
A reminder for the ages....Beslan!
I’m not someone who hates, but frequently some islam loving peacenik commits some horrendous act(s) and I feel hatred, not just for the act(s) committed, but for person who did it(them), the so-called religion that spawned the act(s) and the culture that embraces and accepts it(them). I ask myself, what would satan do diffently? And I never seem to be able to come up with anything. So much beauty in the world and these animals feel the need to do the shiite they do. Satan smiles.
“What a beautiful young woman. What a hideous way to die. I am at a loss for words. Prayers for this young woman and I pray for the western world.”
I concur.
Evil, depraved, barbaric, disgusting...don’t have words to describe a father initiating this torture and murder for his own child.
it is bad enough that they rape family members but to bring this behavior to civilized countries is unacceptable.
every family member who had fore-knowledge should be deported, and the ones who are brits should have their citizenship revoked and then deported.
bullet in the head is too good for these fellows. they should be drawn and quartered as it was done in the old days. that will teach them to respect tradition.
