   Banaz Mahmod was a 20-year-old Iraqi Kurdish woman living in Mitcham, South London, England. She was killed in what is known as an honour killing on her family's orders because she ended a violent and abusive forced marriage and began a relationship with a man of her own choosing. Her father, uncle and three cousins were later found guilty of the murder. The four eldest daughters in the family, including Banaz, had been subjected to female genital mutilation. Bekhal reported that she had suffered physical abuse and threats for meeting people her family did not approve of and for wearing Western clothing and hairstyles. She reported that they had tried to kill her and that her father had threatened to kill her mother, her sisters and herself if she did not return to the family home. Instead of going home, Bekhal lived in hiding, constantly moving and never leaving the house without wearing a veil. On New Year's Eve, while witnesses described Banaz as distraught and terrified to café and hospital staff, the police officer who interviewed her, PC Angela Cornes, did not believe her and called her "manipulative" and "melodramatic." A police detective also wanted to charge her with criminal damage for breaking a window. On 24 January 2006, three cousins subjected Banaz to more than two hours of rape and torture before strangling her with a ligature. They then put her body in a suitcase and buried it in a garden.
