I just wanted to remember her really.
5 times she went to police to ask for help and to say she might be killed. All because she left her husband--who raped and abused her.
Her father tried to kill her. He even made her bring the suitcase into which he planned to stuff her body.
Her brother tried to kill her sister, who fled and now lives in hiding.
Her father and uncle employed 3 cousins to torture, rape, sodomise and strangle Banaz in her family home. They stuffed her body in a suitcase and buried her in a backgarden.
The murderers fled to Iran. Detective Caroline Goode would not give up and eventually they were all caught.
Sadly once justice was done, her love Rahmat hung himself.
Honour killing, violence and forced marriage is real and happening.
