Honour killing trio given life sentence

A FATHER who ordered his two teenage sons to carry out the “honour killing” of a university student who had made his daughter pregnant was yesterday told he must serve a minimum of 20 years behind bars.

Bangladeshi waiter Chomir Ali, 44, ordered his sons to kill 19-year-old Arash Ghorbani-Zarin, an Iranian Muslim studying electrical engineering at Oxford Brookes University.

The judge, who last month presided over the trio’s Oxford Crown Court trial, which ended with all three being found guilty of murder, yesterday sentenced Ali and sons Mujibar Rahman, 19, and Mamnoor Rahman, 16, all of Asquith Road, Oxford, to life.
