(UK) Charity to sue over domestic violence murder victim Sabina Akhtar
— “A charity that campaigns for victims of domestic violence is to sue a police force and the Crown Prosecution Service over allegations that it failed to protect a woman who was murdered by her husband”
— “She went to the police to complain that he had attacked her 25 times and made repeated threats to kill her. On one occasion he had told her to prepare for death by reading passages from the Koran adding: ‘I am going to get a knife and when I return I am going to slaughter you.'”

“Using both hands to squeeze her windpipe he told her to read her Koran warning: ‘This is your final hour.'”
