In my country, murder is normal': Man who is in jail for his niece's honour killing sues ITV for accusing him of ordering her rape
Banaz Mahmod was aged 20 when she was killed on the orders of her father Mahmod Mahmod and uncle Ari Mahmod after she left an abusive arranged marriage.
Other family members and friends were recruited to carry out the murder and she was raped by three of her cousins before being strangled.
Uncle Mahmod, 69, is now suing over a 2020 drama called Honour, starring Keeley Hawes, and a 2012 documentary on the killing.
He claims that in his Iraqi Muslim culture, 'honour' murders are acceptable but accusation of rape have destroyed his reputation, the Sun reports.
While representing himself, he told the High Court that he been attacked in jail and that his family were victims of reprisals.
'In my country murder is normal — after served time you have a new opportunity,' he said speaking via videolink from HMP Whitemoor in Cambridgeshire earlier this month
'In my culture the main things they react against me was the rape allegation.'
Speaking about himself in the third person, he added: 'Almost all statements left no doubts the allegation of rape was with Ari's blessing. In the Islamic community rape is taboo — it is the highest level of crime.'
Banaz fled an abusive arranged marriage, which she had at the age of 17, after being continuously raped and beaten by her husband, who was ten years older.
She returned to live in the family home in south London and then fell in love with a Kurdish man, Rahmat Suleimani.
In the months leading up to her disappearance, Banaz reported to police five times that her family wanted her dead, but no action was taken.
She was deemed to have brought 'shame' on the family with her father and uncle hatching an evil plan to have her killed in the most savage way possible to restore their 'honour' and 'reputation' within the community.
Banaz suffered horrific sexual violence prior to being strangled to death at the family home in January 2006.
Her body was then stuffed into a suitcase and taken to Birmingham , where it was buried in the garden of an abandoned home.
Following the discovery of her body, Banaz's father, uncle and other relatives and family associates were charged with her murder or for conspiring in it.
