Caneze Riaz, Sayrah, Sophia, Alisha and Hannah.
Mohammed Riaz disagreed with Caneze and how she brought up her children. Not wanting to humiliate his family name, he decided to end their lives 14 years ago by setting the family home alight.

It's been over 12 months since we first went into lockdown. Overnight the climate changed and like flicking a switch people were calling in there1000s.
With heightened demand, calls became more complex and longer in nature and we'd like to thank the team for their resilience.1/2

Shafilea ❤️
Today marks 20 years since the so-called 'honour killing' of Shafilea Ahmed.
The 17-year-old was suffocated by her parents at their home in Warrington in a crime that shocked Britain. How much has really changed? Not enough, say campaigners. 🧵
