My best friend watched as
her parents murdered her
sister
Shahin Munir, 24, was let
in on a terrible secret
when she discovered that
17-year-old Shafilea
Ahmed, from Warrington,
was the victim of an
honour killing. Here she
shares her remarkable
story...
Shafilea Ahmed was killed
by her parents in
September 2003, and her
body was found dumped
in the Lake District five
months later. Her two
sisters Alesha and Mevish
witnessed the killing along
with their brother, but
terrified they might be
next, they carried the
terrible secret with them.
The only person Mevish
told was her best friend
Shahin…
"Mev used to tell me about
the violence at home,"
Shahin tells Cosmopolitan.
"But there was always
something she couldn't
bring herself to say. I told
her that if she couldn't say
it out loud she should
write it down and give it
to me instead. She was
never really allowed out by
herself but one day she
texted me and told me she
was going into town with
her mum. She said they
were going to H&M so I
went there, and started
looking through clothes,
keeping my head down. I
was looking through a rail
when Mev and her mum
walked past and as Mev
walked past, she dropped
a letter on the floor. I
picked it up quickly and
walked out of the shop as
fast as I could."
Shahin couldn't believe it
when she got home and
read Mev's letter
describing Shafilea's
murder. "I'd do anything
to change that night," Mev
had written. "I wish I
never seen but I did and
Alesha did but just sat
there and watched. I even
seen the suitcase they
took her in. They knocked
me over and smacked me
coz I seen."
Later in court, Mev said
that what she'd written
was purely fiction – "free-
writing" that she had
made up. But Shahin knew
it was absolutely true, and
from then on, she was in
on the secret.
"I met up with Mev in the
park the next day,"
explains Shahin, who
graduated with a degree
in psychology last year.
"She was completely
terrified – watching every
car that drove past
thinking it might be her
dad. I gave her the letter
and said I want you to
read it out loud to me. But
she couldn't do it. She
broke down completely. I
couldn't tell anyone either
because Mev's parents
used to threaten her that
she would be next if she
told anyone. She was a
victim, too. After that, Mev
would talk about Shafilea –
her nice memories of them
together as well as
everything they went
through. She told me that
Shafilea was treated the
worst out of her sisters
and brother – she was the
most 'trouble'. Shafilea
sometimes wasn't allowed
to eat and other times
they'd leave her outside in
the rain. It was caused by
things like her having a
mobile phone and
speaking to boys, wanting
to wear makeup and heels.
For her family, those were
big problems. The thing
that triggered the
argument the night she
was killed was that she
went out in just a T-shirt
without her coat."
When Shafilea's parents
Farzana and Ifthikar
Ahmed were arrested on
suspicion of murder and
brought to trial in May
2012, Shahin knew she
had to do something.
Alesha had told police that
her parents killed Shafilea
but Mev refused to admit
the truth.
"Even though Mev had
begged me not to, once
the trial started I rang the
police and told them......
