The ex-husband and father of a British woman suspected to be the victim of an 'honour killing' appeared in a Pakistani court today after being arrested by police.
Samia Shahid, 28, from Bradford, died last month during a visit to her family village in Punjab.
Shahid's ex-husband, Muhammad Shakeel, and father, Muhammad Shahid, have been arrested and will remain in custody.
The second husband of the beauty therapist, Mukhtar Kazam, claimed she was murdered for bringing 'dishonour' on her family.
She was allegedly hunted by her family in 2014 after she ran away from the cousin she had been forced to marry.
'Shahid's ex-husband, Muhammad Shakeel, who was on pre-arrest bail, was arrested along with Shahid's father, Muhammad Shahid, after a local court did not extend Shakeel's bail,' Aqeel Abbas, a local police official said.
Abbas said both men would remain in custody for four days in Jhelum, 78 miles east of the capital Islamabad.
Police have not charged the men.
Kazam and Shahid, a dual British-Pakistani citizen, had been married for two years and were living in Dubai, police said.
Kazam, who is Pakistani, said his wife had angered her parents by converting to Shia Islam, his sect, before their wedding.
Earlier this month at an emotional news conference he had presented a copy of the post-mortem report into his wife's death that said the 28-year-old had a 7.5ins gash on her neck, suggesting she had been strangled.
Shahid's father has denied the charges and said he did not want an investigation, claiming his daughter died of natural causes.
Islamic scholar Syed Sibtain Kazmi says he recorded threats from Samia's family as he refused to say where they were - and then gave them to the police.
