A GIRL told cops how she watched her parents kill her sister during a row, a court heard yesterday. Pretty Shafilea Ahmed, 17, was murdered after her Westernised lifestyle �brought shame� on her strict Muslim family�s honour, it was claimed.
Her body was dumped by a river near Sedgwick, Cumbria, hours after the alleged killing in September 2003.
Shafilea�s remains were discovered five months later. But her death remained a mystery for seven years, until October 2010, when sister Alesha spoke to police. Prosecutor Andrew Edis, QC, told Chester Crown Court that the evidence of Alesha � now 23 but 15 at the time � was �the final piece of the puzzle�.
Mr Edis told how A-level student Shafilea had clashed with father Iftikhar, 52, and mother Farzana, 49, over her wish to have boyfriends and wear Western clothes.
