May 30, 2021 A cousin of Saman Abbas was arrested in France on charges of murder and concealment of the body of the 18-year-old of Pakistani origin, who disappeared for about a month from Novellara, in the Bassa Reggiana. Investigators and investigators believe that the young woman was killed. Saman opposed the marriage arranged by his parents. For one of the two investigated cousins, Ikram Ijaz, a custody order was issued in prison: through a European arrest warrant he was blocked yesterday in Nimes by the French police. The extradition operations, let the Reggio Emilia carabinieri know, will start tomorrow but a trip to France is not excluded to hear the arrested person immediately. Another cousin was also registered on the register of suspects,the parents (returned to Pakistan) and an uncle of the 18-year-old. 



The carabinieri, who conduct the investigations, discovered that the young Pakistani, identified together with family members in the surveillance videos that triggered the hypothesis of a murder, was in France. With the collaboration of the international cooperation service of the criminal police (SCIP), the man was stopped aboard a bus, which departed from Paris and headed for Barcelona, ​​allegedly trying to reach some relatives in Spain.



Not being in compliance with the residence documents, he was held in an identification center. In the meantime, the investigations have also closed the circle on him and an order of custody in prison was issued because he was held responsible, in competition, for the murder and concealment of the girl's body. Three of the other four suspects (the girl's parents and uncle) are in Pakistan, while the other cousin is still untraceable. From his words, the investigators hope to shed light on some of the many obscure points that characterize this story. 



The hypothesis that the investigators make is the worst possible: Salman was in fact killed and buried near the house, a murder planned and carried out within the family. The searches are concentrated behind the shed of the farm where the girl's family worked, and from where in a video of April 29 three people are seen - two have been identified as the girl's cousins ​​- with two shovels, a bucket containing a blue sack and a crowbar. They will continue in the next few days,


some wells, canals and other greenhouses

Meanwhile, the girl's father, Shabbar Abbas, reached in Pakistan with a phone call from "Il Resto del Carlino" claims that his "daughter Saman is alive, I heard from her the day before yesterday. She is in Belgium and is fine. 10 June I go back to Italy and explain everything to the carabinieri ".
