Police in Pakistan have exhumed the bodies of two women allegedly buried alive in western Balochistan province. They have also arrested six people, including some relatives of the women. Reports from the area say the women were killed in July because they wanted to marry men of their own choice, against the wishes of tribal elders.

Three other women were also reported killed but police have not found their bodies. Human rights groups have expressed outrage at the killings.

On Monday, Pakistan's Senate called for action to be taken against those responsible for what it called "brutal murders".
Last week two senators caused uproar by suggesting that the killings were a matter of tribal tradition.
Reports say in Pakistan's conservative countryside it is not uncommon for male relatives to kill women accused of violating family honour. But the brutality of the murders, and their unexpected defence in the senate, outraged many, our correspondent says. Police who oversaw the exhumation of the bodies said the two women had bullet wounds and that they had been buried without a shroud.

According to Baloch tribal custom, women killed for "dishonourable acts" are often buried without the white cotton wrap-around shroud. The two bodies were dumped in the same ditch, police and local sources said. A senior police officer in Nasirabad district, Shabbir Ahmad Shaikh, told the BBC Urdu service on Monday night that the bodies were recovered from a grave 10km (six miles) from Babakot, the women's village.

Sources in Dera Murad Jamali, the district headquarters, said the bodies were exhumed on Monday night in the presence of police and doctors. They said both girls had clearly been shot several times, but there was still no clear evidence of whether they had been buried while still alive. Police said they had arrested at least six people in connection with the murders, including close relatives of the deceased women.

Reports last month said three women aged 18-20 from the Imrani tribe had run away from their homes in Babakot to get married. The women were kidnapped by some male relatives from a hotel in Usta Mohammad, in neighbouring Jafferabad district, where they had been hiding, the reports said.
Two older women who tried to help the would-be brides were also allegedly kidnapped.

The Hong Kong-based Asian Human Rights Commission (AHRC) reported that the women had all been shot, thrown into a ditch and then buried, even though they were still alive.

However, police in Dera Murad Jamali say they have recovered only two bodies. One official said that if there had been other women, they too would have been buried in the same ditch. Meanwhile, the interior ministry has ordered a senior police official in Islamabad, Tariq Khosa, to conduct an inquiry into the case. Mr Khosa was expected to reach Dera Murad Jamali later on Tuesday (yesterday). _

A Muslim man is beginning a life sentence for murdering his daughter because he disapproved of her Christian boyfriend.
Abdullah Yones admitted stabbing 16-year-old Heshu to death at their home in Acton, west London.

The Old Bailey heard Kurdish Abdalla Yones, 48, murdered Heshu on 12 October 2002 because he feared she was becoming westernised.

He pleaded for the court to pass the death sentence on him for his "appalling" crime after he tried to take his own life.

A father has been found guilty of killing his daughter in what police have described as an honour killing.
The body of Banaz Mahmod, 20, was found in a suitcase buried in a garden in Birmingham last year.

Her father Mahmod Mahmod, 52, and uncle Ari Mahmod, 50, from Mitcham, south London, were both convicted of murder at the Old Bailey.

A third defendant, Darbad Mares-Rasull, was cleared of conspiracy to pervert the course of justice.

Ari Mahmod was also found guilty of conspiracy to pervert the course of justice.
Mohamad Hama, 30, of West Norwood, south London, an associate of Ari, has pleaded guilty to the murder.

Miss Mahmod was killed after falling in love with a man her family did not want her to marry.

Her father and uncle ordered the murder because they believed she had shamed the family, the three-month trial heard.

Banaz had made several attempts to warn police that her life was in danger, even naming those she thought would kill her.

In footage recorded following an earlier attempt on her life by her father in December 2005, she said she was "really scared".

However her statement following the assault was allegedly not taken seriously enough by investigating officers.

ON July 6, police say, a Pakistani named Chaudhry Rashid strangled his 25-year-old daughter San- deela Kanwal with a Bungee cord in her bedroom because she wanted to end her arranged marriage. This "honor killing" came not in Pakistan, but in Jonesboro, Ga. - a suburb 16 miles outside Atlanta

I am getting sick of these muslims and their fucking Laws!!!

shut the fuc.k up u muppet!

it is a cultural and tribal thing so don't start any religious controversy here

if you want the full article i would print it out here in bold for you

no one has imposed a muslim law on you and no one has forced you to convert to a muslim

with the majority of Asian's that do this, it is an honour killing thing and not related to religion so do not make a nuisance of yourself!

@Queenisha

your point is understood

but honour and tribal culture killing is totally different compared to religious practices!

I KNOW You UNDERSTAND ANYWAY!
