Uncle convicted of rape, murder of PIO in UK

A 33-year-old British-Pakistani man was on Wednesday found guilty of kidnapping, raping and killing his 20-year-old Indian-origin niece by a UK court. Mujahid Arshid killed Celine Dookhran in a jealous rage by slitting her throat and then dumped her body into a freezer, the Old Bailey court here was told during the trial. The builder from London was also found guilty of the attempted murder of a second 21-year-old Indian-origin woman, who was a friend of the victim and managed to escape with serious injuries during the attack last year. Meanwhile, co-accused Vincent Tappu — a labourer employed by the builder — was acquitted of all charges against him.
