When Missing Turns to Murder

S01E07 Shafilea Ahmed

Shafilea Ahmed entered the world in July 1986 in Bradford, West Yorkshire, born to Farzana while her taxi driver father was still wed to a Danish woman with whom he had a son. Under pressure from a relative in Pakistan, he married Farzana, who was also his cousin, despite the irony of his own arranged marriage. The family later relocated to Warrington, a town that boasted a small but established Asian community.
