Police investigating the murder of Shafilea Ahmed were so convinced that her parents had killed the teenager they "bugged" the Cheshire family home to listen in on their conversations.


The covert listening device was placed in the family home in November 2003 - three months before Shafilea's body was discovered - and a series of recordings were made.

The key feature about the recordings was that Iftikhar and Farzana Ahmed appeared to know that they might be under surveillance and feared their phones had been tapped.

Nevertheless, the couple had a series of conversations which were caught on tape in which they talked about how they could get away with murder and how best to use the media to their advantage.

There was very little talk about their "beloved Shafilea" and the police were referred to by Mr Ahmed as "sister f******".

In one conversation they talked with a third man referred to as Tariq, about "forgetting dishonour" and using the press to save themselves, not by finding Shafilea, but by pinning the blame "on some other sister f***** so they go and look for them".

Farzana then spoke about wishing she had kept the SIM card from Shafilea's phone because it had the numbers of "lots of boys" on it.

At one point Iftikhar talks about the legal system in the UK and how it works on proof.

He is heard saying: "Without any proof, even if you sister f****** kill 40 people, until it is found, they can't do anything to you."

The money is one aspect, but there is also a great deal of misogyny with these inbreds which to me is the crux of the problem here. Only the women get punished. And yes it happens with other religions, though they have upgraded to more modern interpretations without the 'beating your missus' about.

TBH I don't think it's only a Muslim thing, half my family is Orthodox Christian from a similar part of the world and I've heard that a lot of marrying of cousins and kids having odd defects went on. Fair play to my old man for getting out of that madness and marrying a fit foreigner, heheh.
You think your own mother is 'fit'?

Weirdo

None of you have ever looked at a youthful pic of your old dear and gone 'I can see why dad went for that'? I find that hard to believe. But anyway I meant 'fit' compared to my dad's inbred cousins. Not that hard tbf.
