Reeta Chakrabarti reports: "Shakeela Naz held on to her daughters feet whle her son Shazad strangled her with a wire flex"

Shakeela Naz and her son Shazad Ali were found guilty at Nottingham Crown Court on Tuesday of the murder of 19-year-old Rukhsana.

The court heard the pair believed Rukhsana Naz had brought shame on the family by having an extra-marital affair and becoming pregnant.

'Horrific offence'

Her younger brother, Iftikar, was cleared of murder.

The judge, Mr Justice Tucker, said: "The jury have convicted you both of murder.

"It was a particularly horrific offence, involving as it did the death of a young pregnant woman, who was already the mother of two children, at the hands of her own family."

Rukhsana had married at the age of 16 to a man in Pakistan.

She was strangled to death with an electric flex by her brother at their family home in Derby last March after becoming pregnant by her lover.
