A MAN has appeared in court charged with the “honour” killing of a woman whose decomposed body was found in a suitcase.
Banaz Mahmod, 20, disappeared from her home in Mitcham, London, in January 2006 and her body was discovered in Handsworth, Birmingham, three months later.
Omar Hussain, 30, of Messenger Road, Smethwick, appeared at Greenwich Magistrates’ Court yesterday, charged with her murder.
He is also charged with the attempted kidnap of Rahmat Suleimani – Miss Mahmod’s boyfriend – and with attempting to pervert the course of justice.
Hussain was remanded in custody to appear at the Old Bailey on March 23.
Miss Mahmod began a relationship with Mr Suleimani after leaving an unhappy arranged marriage.
Her father, Mahmod Mahmod, uncle Ari Mahmod and a third man, Mohamad Hama, were jailed for life in 2007 for the so-called “honour” killing.
