Indian Muslim woman raped and murdered in London in suspected honour killing

An Indian Muslim woman, Celine Dookhran, 19, was kidnapped, raped and murdered in London in a suspected honour killing case.

On Wednesday, masked men kidnapped the two women and took them to a house in South West London where they raped them and Dookhran was killed.

Her throat was slit and body stuffed inside the fridge before being found after the other woman who was attacked raised an alarm from her hospital bed. Dookhran was said to have started a relationship with an Arab man.



The court charged Mujahid Arshid, 33, with murder and two counts of rape along with Vincent Tappu, 28, who was charged with kidnapping.

The teenager was of Indian Muslim heritage and was in a relationship with an Arab Muslim man, said Prosecutor Binita Roscoe while informing the court.



"Alhamdulilah [praise God] for everything that's all I can say,” happened to be her last tweet.

Both the culprits were remanded in custody till they appear at Old Bailey on August 21.
