The life of a teenager murdered by her parents in an 'honour' killing was being remembered this week on what would have been her 37th birthday.

Shafilea Ahmed- who wanted to be a lawyer and was described as an 'able, ambitious girl' who was 'squeezed between two cultures' - was just 17 when her life was taken from her in September 2003 by those who were supposed to love and protect her.
