The daughter of a London woman who died in a so-called honor killing in India has demanded that her mother's attackers be brought to justice

Surjit Athwal died in 1998 and her husband and mother-in-law were convicted of arranging her murder in 2007. The prosecution claimed Mrs Athwal was killed because she sought a divorce. But those who carried out the attack have never been convicted and her daughter Pavanpreet, 17, called for them "to be put behind bars". Her family feel that police in India have "failed" to properly look into the case.
