UK: Mother hacked to death after filing for divorce
19th October 2010
Geeta Aulakh, 28, was left to die in the street after a “savage” attack in which her hand was severed by a 14in machete as she tried to defend herself.
The Old Bailey heard that, in a “hideous” act of “breathtaking indifference”, Harpreet Aulakh, her husband, had offered a reward of £5,000 to a room full of Punjabi men to kill her after she had started divorce proceedings.
Ah, those Presbyterians – so impulsive.
