Jury hears 'sister saw parents commit murder'

A court has heard that the sister of a Cheshire schoolgirl who went missing in 2003 saw their parents kill her.

Iftikhar Ahmed, 52 and Farzana Ahmed, 49, of Warrington, deny the murder of 17-year-old Shafilea, whose remains were found in Cumbria in February 2004.

The prosecution allege Mr and Mrs Ahmed killed their daughter because she had brought shame on the family.
