“Honour is completely the wrong word. It is a control murder. That’s what these are. It is not honour crime; it is ‘control crime’ and fear of losing that control. It really is beyond belief that he [Mohammed Riaz] felt this – the five graves – was the answer to losing control of his family. What is honourable about this? Caneze had done nothing wrong. On the contrary, she was doing so much that was good. Every one of those children there are testament to that, and they have all suffered because of one man and his completely twisted view on life . . . Women are dying and being brutalised in this situation many times throughout Britain at the moment. Cultural sensitivity is absolutely no excuse for moral blindness, and there’s too much fannying about going on both sides, from both communities, and as long as that remains the situation, then young women are going to keep dying. It’s as simple as that.”
