— Islington Gazette: Police’s honour killing pledge
— “An honour killing must never be allowed to happen in Islington – say detectives who discovered that a couple were threatened with death for having a forbidden relationship.”
— “The 25-year-old Egyptian Muslim woman and her 21-year-old Greek Orthodox boyfriend were allegedly assaulted by her family for their secret love affair.”
— “Police believe the woman was first beaten up by her father and brother until she revealed her boyfriend’s identity.”
— “The boyfriend was allegedly then bundled into a car, beaten up and taken to his girlfriend’s family home in Holloway.”
— “There they were threatened with death if they had any further contact.”
— “But charges have never been brought over the incident in June last year because no-one was willing to give evidence.
— “While a murder has never happened in Islington, police have revealed the borough has experienced four cases of ‘honour-based violence’ in the last year.”
