Cousin of honor killing victim who helped dispose of her body in a suitcase is jailed for eight years, says he's proud of what he's done

UK - A cousin of an honor killing victim who helped dispose of her body has said he is proud of his actions.

Banaz Mahmod (pictured), 20, was strangled to death with a shoelace by her father and uncle in her south London home, seven years ago.

Her cousin Dana Amin, now 29, helped put the young woman's body in a suitcase and transported it to the Midlands before burying it in a make-shift grave in a Birmingham back-garden.

As he was sentenced to eight years in prison, Amin told Southwark Crown Court he did not regret his actions.

Iraq-born Banaz was murdered by members of her family because she walked out of an arranged marriage and fell in love with another man.

Her father, Mahmod Mahmod, and uncle, Ari Mahmod, were jailed for life in 2007, after being found guilty of what has become Britain’s most notorious honor killing.  More
