Italian authorities have found the body of an 18-year-old woman who went missing more than a year ago after refusing to travel to Pakistan for an arranged marriage, a lawyer for a rights group said on Wednesday.
Saman Abbas has been identified by dental records after human remains were found near to her family home in the town of Novellara in November 2022, Ansa news agency quoted lawyer Barbara Iannucelli as saying.
Abbas had not been seen since April 2021. Five members of her family including her father and uncle are due to go on trial next month over a so-called “honour killing” that shocked Italy….
Prosecutors believe that the family was angered when they found out that Abbas had a boyfriend in Italy.
