What is known about the murder of an 18-year-old Pakistani girl
The body of Saman Abbas was dug up in November 2022 from an abandoned farmhouse near fields in northern Italy. Her father worked there. An autopsy revealed that the young woman had a broken neck, likely as a result of strangulation.
The exhumation of her body occurred 1.5 years after she was last seen alive on surveillance video while walking nearby with her parents.

Italian prosecutors alleged that the girl was killed by her family on May 1, 2021, because she refused to marry her relative.
It is known that in Italy a girl stopped wearing a headscarf and started dating a guy. One social media post showed her and her boyfriend kissing. This angered Abbas' parents, who wanted her to marry a cousin in Pakistan, Italian investigators said.
Abbas reportedly told her boyfriend that she feared for her life.
As a result, the investigation proved the guilt of the girl’s relatives — her parents were sentenced to life imprisonment, and her uncle to 14 years in prison. The two cousins were found not guilty and released from custody.
