The sister of a Muslim woman murdered in a so-called honour killing has spoken out about the impact of her death, and her concerns about a planned TV drama based on the case.

In 2006, 20-year-old Banaz Mahmod was killed in London on the orders of her father and uncle when she left her husband and started a relationship with another man.

In her first broadcast interview, Payzee Mahmod has told the BBC how “every day has been hell” since her sister died.
