Zatoon Bibi and her husband Gul Nawaz conspired to murder DJ and music producer Tanveer Iqbal in February 2016. Both have been jailed for life with Bibi serving a minimum of 27 years and Nawaz a minimum of 25 years. Their 16-year-old son was also handed a six year sentence for the conviction of murder.<\/p>\n
Bibi wanted revenge after being rejected by Iqbal who she was having an affair with, the man was strangled and his remains stuffed into a cardboard box in his car. A 17-year-old girl will also be sentenced for perverting the course of justice after providing a false alibi.<\/p>\n
Judge Mark Wall stated in court to Bibi that \u201cYour selfishness and manipulative behaviour are truly breath-taking.\u201d The judge additionally lifted a reporting restriction to name their 16-year-old son Kashim Nawaz as a third person who participated in the murder. The judge informed Bibi, \u201cYou were the one person pushing your own son to commit murder.\u201d<\/p>\n
Iqbal\u2019s family released a statement saying, \u201cTanveer was taken away from us in a way which has had a profound effect and changed our lives forever.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is indescribable pain to lose a loved one in such a brutal manner.\u201d<\/p>\n
