Killed by family members for posting a photo of a kiss with her boyfriend on social networks.
This is the shocking truth that emerges from the investigation into the death of Saman Abbas, the young Pakistani woman, who disappeared on the night of April 30, 2021 in Emilia .
The shot, immortalized in the streets of Bologna, dates back to the period in which the girl lived in a protected community. A cousin, heard by the Reggio Emilia carabinieri, reported that he had received the image and that the father, mother and brother of the 18-year-old "complained constantly about this situation".

Saman would be held firm by Ijaz and the other cousin Nomanhulaq Nomanhulaq, so as to allow her uncle - Danish Hasnain - to strangle her with a rope, while her mother, Nazia Shaheen, in the throes of a fit of tears, was removed from her husband. , Shabbar Abbas.
A still mysterious man would then have given his contribution to finish the unfortunate girl, whose body would then be stuffed into a sack, torn to pieces and - finally - thrown into the river Po .
A reconstruction being examined by the investigators, who consider these statements "credible only in part".
