Pratibha Khan is a 19-year old girl who was stoned and strangled to death y her father and brother for apparently 'dishonoring her family by meeting a boy from another village.
According to the police in India, Pratibha was strangled after the stoning, then her body was dumped in a field. Her face had been 'smashed beyond recognition,' he reports say.
Her 18-year old friend, Alia Modi, said:
"I was walking home through the fields when I saw a body lying on the ground."It was covered in blood and when I looked at the face it was so badly damaged I didn’t recognise it as Pratibha’s.It was only later that I learnt who it was and I was simply horrified.”
The police say: "The post-mortem report showed that while the cause of death was strangulation, it appeared that she had been repeatedly struck by bricks and stones.
"Perhaps to hide her identity, some of the blunt force injuries to her face were made after her death, but most weren't.”
"It looks like the brother and father dragged her to the fields and assaulted her with bricks and stones. They then strangled her and went on to smash her facebeyond recognition.”
"An analysis of her mobile phone records pointed to the involvement of her family members, in particular the brother and father.
"Initially, her brother Pradeep was questioned and claimed she was killed by her lover.
"It was only later when we interrogated Pradeep and his father Jagpal separately that we were able to find inconsistencies in their statements.
"Eventually they admitted that they had killed her because she was in love with another boy from a nearby village.”
Prabhat, Pratibha's 33 year old brother, on hearing the news, said:
"I am neither sorry nor surprised that my sister is dead.If what people say is true, then I am not surprised that my father and brother killed her."
