A painful and painful list, black and white, with
the names and telephone numbers
of people who could have hurt her.
Saman Abbas had grouped them all into a message she had sent to her boyfriend.
It was
February 4, 2021
, three months before disappearing into thin air.
Five of the people Saman mentions in those messages, at the end of the investigations by the carabinieri and the Reggio Emilia Public Prosecutor's Office, were indicted for murder and destruction of bodies: the parents, Shabbar Abbas and Nazia Shaheen (fugitives in Pakistan), the Danish uncle Hasnain, cousins Ikram Ijaz and Nomanhulaq Nomanhulaq, arrested in recent months after fleeing abroad, the first two in France, the third in Spain.
The trial will begin in February 2023
.
In addition to the five, in this chat to the proceedings of the investigation, Saman also reported his
younger brother, another cousin and another uncle
, who do not appear to have been investigated.
The latter two are the same relatives that the brother, in a conversation with his mother intercepted after the crime, accused as
instigators of the killing of the girl
.
The uncle is also the same person with whom the father spoke, in a dialogue captured in June 2021, where Shabbar said he had
killed his daughter for his "dignity"
.
The eighteen-year-old, who passed away from Novellara (Reggio Emilia) on April 30, 2021, also indicated other details to her boyfriend in the chat.
Among these, the
street of the house where she lived with her family
(and where she would return on April 20 to get her documents and leave, after a period lived in a protected community in Bologna), but also the name and the Pakistani city of the cousin who refused to marry in the arranged marriage by the family.
The girl's opposition to the project that the family had for her is considered by the investigators to be
one of the reasons for the crime
.
Saman had already run away from home and wanted to leave again to be with her boyfriend, a fellow countryman she met in Italy, and to live her life in freedom.
Just a
photo of her with the boy
while the two exchanged a kiss in the streets of Bologna, posted on her social media, was one of the triggers, according to her investigation, of the anger of her family against her.
The cousin of the young woman, the one not investigated, heard by the carabinieri on July 31, 2021, said he had received the shot in question from the girl's younger brother and that Shabbar, his wife and the same brother "constantly complained about the
new sentimental relationship
undertaken from Saman.
He was very annoyed by the fact that the girl
continually published photos
that portrayed her in the company of him even in provocative attitudes.
So much so that Nazia (her mother, ed) informed me that her husband Shabbar had left, in January 2021, for Pakistan, to get in touch with the boy's parents, which actually happened ".
According to what Saman's boyfriend reported, her father actually went to
threaten his relatives with death
at home.
