Italian police are searching for the body of an 18-year-old girl allegedly murdered by her Pakistani family after refusing to accept a Muslim forced marriage.
The girl's parents, an uncle and two cousins are being investigated
for murder, Carabinieri Lieutenant Colonel
Stefano Bove
said Saturday
.
All "allegedly participated in the crime," he explained to the press.
Police are searching a field area to find the missing young woman,
Saman Abbas
. According to Bove,
the agents are inspecting "wells, irrigation canals and greenhouses
.
"
Saman Abbas, who lived in the northern city of Novellara, rebelled last year against her family's proposal that she marry a cousin in her native country.
While still a minor, she contacted social services
and in November she was transferred to a reception center.
He reported his parents to the police, but on April 11 he returned with them.
The police have been looking for her since May 5, when they went to her house and found no one.
They later found out that her parents had left for Pakistan without her, and they
found footage from a security camera that foreshadowed the worst
.
On April 29,
five people were seen walking away from the house with shovels
, a crowbar and a bucket, and returning about two and a half hours later.
The Carabinieri identified the five people as the family members suspected of murder.
They are believed to have gone to Pakistan.
