Arash Ghorbani-Zarin

Arash Ghorbani-Zarin (1986 - 2004) was an Iranian student at Oxford Brookes University who was murdered by the brothers of his girlfriend, Manna Begum in a case of honour killing. His body was discovered in a car in Rose Hill, Oxford, on November 20, 2004. He had been stabbed 46 times. Miss Begum's father, Bangladeshi-born waiter Chomir Ali (44), had intended for his daughter to enter a forced marriage, which she had refused. When his daughter became pregnant he ordered his sons Mohammed Mujibar Rahman (19) and Mamnoor Rahman (16) to kill Ghorbani-Zarin. The Royal Courts of Justice in London sentenced Ali to jail for life and his sons to a minimum terms of 16 and 14 years respectively.
